Don't think I'm crazy but I think they are just the most interesting little time capsules/social commentary kinda things around sometimes. Anyway, hope you enjoy...

Here's one I always enjoyed <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj935x1dwNs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =Rj935x1dwNs</a> The two commercials I really remember and really loved and would love to see but havent' been able to find yet are: The Pepsi commercial where everyone was singing "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony" and the Dr. Pepper commercial where that guy is dancing and singing "I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper, she's a Pepper, wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too."

Pretty sure that Dr. Pepper commercial is there, and perhaps even the Pepsi one too. Great site if you're into that sort of thing, which I am.

Originally Posted By DVC_dad Oh they do? Oh sorry Chickie, in that case nevermind. I thought those first two or so didn't work but I copied and pasted and it was no big deal.

Originally Posted By chickendumpling Thank you mapleservo. Those were exactly the ones I was thinking of. Guess I didn't look as hard as I thought I did. Thanks again. I loved seeing them.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling VCR I love that commercial too. Wasn't there another one like it? I seem to remember one where there shuffling down the street and there's a VW in it or something like that?
Originally Posted By DVC_dad Yeah, and the same song and there was more of the dog...I love the dog! I will look for it.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling Dznygrl - thanks for the reference @ retrojunk.com. I haven't checked it out yet but I think most of the youtube ones I posted were actually from retrojunk. I will definitely have to check it out later. Do you have any fav retromercials you wanna share?
Originally Posted By chickendumpling I don't actually remember the one you posted but I remember that technique and either that same song or one incredibly like it. I hope someone can find the other one. I'd love to see it.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling So you won't have tooooooooo. LOL. I do remember that one but I didn't really recognize it until that very last line. I shouldn't admit it but I don't think as a kid I recognized that it was Tigger's voice. I think I was so fascinated with the animation and how they got that little round scrub brush to talk that I wasn't paying attention to much else! lol.
