"I Love the 80's" (2002-VH1) Public Service Announcement for 1980! :-) I miss those. They (VH1, or, excuse, viacom) need to put another one together. That would be a 4th edition.
I don't care what the lifeguard say, i love drowning my nuggets in BBQ sauce and my salad in ceasar or ranch dressing. And don't get me started on nachos, what kind of weirdo eats tortilla chips without con queso. I don't care, i love drowning my food.
its been a tough day at the office, so you come home, have some dinner, drown you food, pop in a movie, maybe have a drink. its fun right? wrong, don't drown your food
Tell you what, Lewis. When you chip in on the grocery bill, you'll get a say in my drowning of food, or lack thereof. Until then, I'll use as much hot sauce as I damn well please.
Just get over it you dumb commercial! I drown my nachos in like punds of cheese and the leftover cheese I drink! I also love to drink pickle juice! :P
@uponit57 No, not really. This song was cute back then, nothing more. All of us as kids back then would eat things loaded with condiments, then we went outside and played. Games like Baseball, basketball, street football in some cases, hide and seek (usually from the cops (;-)) Drugs and AIDS were the big things back then, but how do you make a jingle for kids about AIDS, which was a new disease then? Nancy Reagan had the "just say no" to drugs campaign, and that was it.
My kids thought I was crazy when I would sing these jingles to them. LOL! This one was my fave. Probably because I realized I liked veggies when they weren't over cooked or drowned in yucky stuff like my mom always made. I still eat dry salads. I just don't like dressing.
@suthrndaysi It affected me too. Although not to the point of being a raw food person. Moderation can be good too, say semi-asphyxiation with a low fat vinaigrette, not total drowning. I do like stuff mostly plain though - my Mom however still insists on margarine on everything! Parents were not listening, but I did.
With all of the hydrogenated oils, HFCS, and chemicals added to processed foods, I feel that eating veggies with something to enhance the flavor beats the alternative. These were great PSAs, though, and I get the point about overdoing it.
This commercial brings back memories. I would be mean to my food. I would stab my food with a fork, then drown them, then chew them and eat them. My food would feel pain and suffering only for a few minutes. d:)
only read a couple comments, but jeesh, the message is to taste the food your eating not the condiment, I still sing this song when I grab a condiment, which I don't use very much of
is that potato a guy? and so is the life guard...and he is all hugging up on him...how weird for a kids clip:P but then again little kids were innocent back then...
@7DARKHELLS condiments are good if you don't overkill hiding the taste of the food. I used to try and hide the taste of anything I hated with ketchup. It's better if kids learn what veggies they like to eat so they will keep eating it when they aren't forced. And cooked veggies taste different than raw- textures make a difference. Give kids choices.And teach kids that their taste buds change so they'll try things more than once. I didn't eat any veggies in my twenties except Chinese.
Fuck this- I drown my food in Caesar dressing AND tabasco sauce- makes it taste better. Besides, why not drown it? I want my food to be dead after all.
I remember this commercial but never understood it. Why are they against condiments ? It's so hard to get kids to eat sometimes in the first place so who cares if they use condiments.
@mtallmen184 If you're serious... It could be a million different possibilities. Slow metabolism.. Have you ever been checked for Hypothyroidism? Also, not eating the right foods, a good variety and eating often! Small meals, more often. Maybe lack of activity? Best of luck to you. =)
Awesome. 30+ years later this commercial is burned into my brain. To this day I still don't drown my food because of this ad. Everytime I've tried to explain the drowning potato to people they think I'm nuts. No one remembered this. Now I have proof. Sure brings back Saturday mornings.
Hey, superleviathan, "food's so much better when it's practically clean" and "It's no fun to eat what you can't even see" are at least reasons, even if they're not very informative.
I always thought that they say don't drown your food because it's a lot healthier to eat it without all that extra junk on it like sour cream and butter
i use to always remember this little ditty when i was a kid, and someone brought me fries. I would tell them don't drown it, or let me put the ketchup on myself. lol
@brainwashedmasses Yes and where is schoolhouse rock, Timer, or how about the Family Film Festival? Kids aren't stupid though. I think they get better schooling than we did. But they miss these kind of lessons. Yuck mouth says it better than mom ever did. Kids don't really want to hear parents all the time. These were fun.
@VemberJudgement me too. LOL No not potato plain. MUST DROWN!!!! what's worse drowning or frying? Need at least one. LOL This is so much fun to remember though. LMAO At least I try not to drown in mayo and cream all the time. cheese and chili work too. and vinegar and oil for salad.
I remember this PSA so well, mostly because I hated plain food as a kid (still do, to some extent, especially naturally "bland" foods like potatoes), and even at the age of eight or ten, when this was airing on TV, I thought it was just shy of insane: "But how can you eat a baked potato without sour cream?"
They need a PSA today that says don't eat food that has high-fructose corn syrup in it. Oh wait, every packaged food has high-frucose corn syrup in it. Never mind.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Was this honestly a problem? I mean, the PSA didn't say it was bad for you or anything, but seriously, what does it matter if you use 2 drips or a whole bottle of salad dressing. Eat food the way it taste good to you
The point of this ad was that there was no childhood obesity epidemic in the 70's and 80's. While you might say "eat what tastes good to you" and that's perfectly acceptable for an adult, people form habits early. Getting a kid to appreciate their food without condiments will benefit them a lot cumulatively down the line. You're also looking at this with modern eyes. This commercial was made at a time when lots of people put mayonnaise in salad, put slabs of cheese on pie and ate lard on toast.
As a child I was so easily disgusted by anything goopy or messy, I couldn't BEAR condiments of any kind to touch what I ate, and you can forget about pudding, yogurt, chili, or thick soups. Half those things still gross me out!
It's really bizarre they'd make a PSA out of this, though. Were condiments really that big a health issue? I mean, they are, but it's not something we think about much.
I was the pickiest eater when I was a kid and everyone gave me shit for it. I mean, I freaked if ketchup or anything touched my food. And then I saw this PSA.... and I remember thinking they were speaking directly to me! I made my Mom and sister watch it! Lol.... my favorite part was the egg calling out for help. Lol... too funny! Thanks for finding this.
So don't drown your food kids! Because it's bad! And only bad people do it! And you shouldn't do it, because it's not fun! Do you hear me? It's NOT FUN DAMMIT!!! And anybody who thinks otherwise is stupid and wrong and a bad person!!!
Every once in a while there will be baked potatos from some big feast leftover and they'll sit in the fridge. I'll be so into a project by the time I get to eating I'll just grab it cold and with nothing on it. Baked, nothing, eaten. I admit it.
You're making me hungry. Now I'm gonna have to go out for my lunch break and get a loaded baked potato. Where the hell am I going to get one? The closest Wendy's is, like, twenty miles away!
This song pops into my head from time to time (usually when I'm dressing a salad). I could never understand the point of it as a kid. Fun to see it on youtube!
oooooo ur in trouble now tht u read this keep reading and something good will happen to u and if u don't the dark world will do very bad things to u A boy named Thomas was walking then he heard a noise in the woods He thought it was just a rabbit so he kept on walking then he saw a flash then died Now that u read this repost this on 10 different Youtube videos in less than 24 hours or you will see a bloody dirty face in the window and he will kill you with a knife HURRY u dont have much time
I never want to do that, "drowning" food is flavourful. Further more are you really supposed to be nice to your food? If I spare it the pain of drowning I will just end up eating it.
Geez,it's pretty damn sad when it's 20 years later and I can still recite this word for word. I will admit though,looking at stuff like this brings a tear to my eye.
JWade, you're not the only one. We kids who were raised in the 70's and 80's are the true products of the television generation. Those before us had new and original programming, we had reruns ad nauseum and the advent of the VCR.
Well, it doesn't say "eat everything plain" -- just go easy on the "goo"...
For example, a lot of people think a baked potato is really healthy food. Which it is. However, if you add tons of butter and sour cream and cheese and bacon to it, you might as well have had some french fries!
Apparently I have a habit for not drowning my food in condiments, so that leaves the only one in favor of the ad. Catchy.

You're making me hungry. Now I'm gonna have to go out for my lunch break and get a loaded baked potato. Where the hell am I going to get one? The closest Wendy's is, like, twenty miles away!

This song pops into my head from time to time (usually when I'm dressing a salad). I could never understand the point of it as a kid. Fun to see it on youtube!

No, except as the symbol of human generousity. But belief in A divine creator has helped sustain me through many trials.

You think they'd come up with adds like this for the youth of today. The children need this more.

I never want to do that, "drowning" food is flavourful. Further more are you really supposed to be nice to your food? If I spare it the pain of drowning I will just end up eating it.

What, it's better to eat it alive-piece by piece-than to drown it? The 'Saw' franchise is making sense to me now...

Geez,it's pretty damn sad when it's 20 years later and I can still recite this word for word. I will admit though,looking at stuff like this brings a tear to my eye.

JWade, you're not the only one. We kids who were raised in the 70's and 80's are the true products of the television generation. Those before us had new and original programming, we had reruns ad nauseum and the advent of the VCR.

Not educational in my opinion. What the hell was going on around that time?

Uhhhh its TOTALLY educational. It means "Don't add extra fat, calories, etc to food with toppings."
Ranch, mayonnaise, sour cream, etc all have lots of fat. Ketchup, A-1 etc is all loaded with sugar...

But I can't eat my potato plain :(
themangodess 3 years ago 2
Well, it doesn't say "eat everything plain" -- just go easy on the "goo"...
For example, a lot of people think a baked potato is really healthy food. Which it is. However, if you add tons of butter and sour cream and cheese and bacon to it, you might as well have had some french fries!

Truthfully, a lot of so-called fat-free foods are flavored with sugars. Sugar technically does n
