@cabel is this a Spaceballs prop?
@cabel hell yeah. Those would go perfectly with my Hamburger Helper radio. It’s cool because the nose is the volume dial.
@cabel "One small portable to go" is just so good.
@cabel I feel like these ads were actually what taught me how to write copy, for better or worse.
@cabel I saw a review of those not too long ago. https://youtu.be/tl2JPYaZams

Narrator: The 1980s war on drugs failed spectacularly.
@cabel I…kinda want one of those?
@cabel Was that Hammacher Schlemmer? Skymall? Sears?
@cabel Oh wow, I was definitely 👀 DeskMate and Robie during that time period, not so much the Pizza Hut gear (since I was there for Book It! on the regular anyway).
@incanus @cabel The Book It! program was wonderful, and my sister and I credit it with our love for reading. ❤️
@cabel
Cocaine. Really no more explanation needed.
@cabel Let's not forget the Wendy's Dildo. I'm sure that was a thing. If it wasn't a thing, it should have been a thing.
@cabel I want pizza headphones so bad I can taste it
@cabel 1980s marketing was wacky and zany like all marketing was run by the Animaniacs.
