I will never look at Wasa bread ever again :(

Holy Crap ! They built a Death Trap for the kids on that Crush ! No way I'd let my kid on that monster...lol...look at it

[TheGrayChannel]

I'd like to make an updated version of that Crush commercial, only instead of using Crush as the energizing ingredient in building the playground, I'd have all the kids using Crank.

Think about it...an army of inner-city speed freaks rebuild an entire block-long playground in 15 minutes with CRANK...the crystalized molecule for winners.

Then they all go home and clean their tenement apartments top to bottom. Then they all grab cuetes and shoot each other.

Commercial over.

The "pretty boy" black guy at 2:31, was in a music video by PEBBLES, called MERCEDES BOY, is now a WOMAN! That's a FACT!! lmao!!

[BananaPuddingNYC]

@m3trooper ...they wouldnt have been able to fix that playground without the crush soda....but I think all those fruity flavors made him FRUITY!

[ihatestalkers]

Is it weird that I like that Mars Bar song? Don't answer that.

[flipgood89]

@ihatestalkers ...naw, its a really well done commercial with good harmony.

A persons telephone cord was that long? Really? Come on now!

By this point, 9 had been running afternoon game show blocks for about 4 years.

[jakobluke]

Do they still make Clear By Design acne cream?

[johnissoevil]

The Love in the Afternoon promo was pretty cool. I had forgotten that Love Connection was on WWOR at one point, for some reason, I had always thought WWOR was the only NYC commercial station that didn't have a Chuck Woolery-hosted show. I think that would actually be WPIX (counting Chuck's talk show, which was on 2)

[bronxbebe]

Was that Luke Perry in the Mars chocolate bar commercial?

[sugarrrsmack]

@bronxbebe that's what I thought too....I think it is luke perry.

[Cosmickarma2010]

@bronxbebe yes it was luke perry.... 2yrs before 90210

[DIZZZZY1975]

that soda should be called "crock" not crush, as if this serious wrestler guy is going to drink that nasty crap right after a match like that! ...and 540-tell? wtf??? tell what?!!

[manhizzy]

Lara Jill Miller had acne problems? Why didn't she ask Nell for help?

[DanZero77]

Great ads! Gotta love the 80s spin on some of these ads! And after you get through the spiel of those videotapes, they remind you they are "FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY!"
