80's Commercials Vol. 25

These commercials aired during the 1984 Olympics on ABC on July 30th, 1984. These are from a 24 year old beta tape that my Aunt and Uncle recorded, so the quality isn't the best.

1. Diet Coke (With Tommy Lasorda, Christie Brinkley, Chuck Yeager and probably some others)
2. Chevrolet Sprint
3. Xerox Memory Writer (Never thought I'd see a commercial for a typewriter...)
4. General Motors
5. Meister Brau (Brauermeister Meisterbrauer)
6. GE Electronic Refrigerator (Open the fridge bay doors, HAL)
7. Upjohn Kaopectate and Cortaid
8. Budweiser
9. K Mart
10. Nissan (Announcing their name change from Datsun to Nissan)
11. Snickers (Love the 80's dancepop jingle AND the mustache!)
12. McDonald's (Olympic swimming events should always be performed in 80's business suits)
13. Coca Cola (This was a year before they shot themselves in the foot with New Coke)
14. Aetna Insurance
15. Earth Grains (What about the athletes that want white bread? WHAT ABOUT THEM!!1)
16. Kodak Kodacolor VR 400 Film
17. Oldsmobile Delta 88 (With Dick Van Patten and family)

Even though that Chevy Sprint was really ugly looking, they had the right idea with 53 hwy mpg back then, wish Chevy would bring it back with a new and improved look. Especially with our sucky economy in gas.

@uscgwife1 The Sprint was made by Suzuki and sold in America by Chevy. Even back then only the Japanese cars got good gas mileage.
