'90s Ad Breaks Vol. 12 - August 1998

From the ABC Saturday Night Movie premiere of "Mallrats," broadcast Aug. 29, 1998, on Dallas-Fort Worth affiliate WFAA-TV. This aired before the start of the fall season, so there are quite a few ads for new series.

Break 1:
* Biore Self-Heating Mask
* Wisk
* Mentadent
* LensCrafters' FeatherWates Plus lenses
* Wendy's Fresh Stuffed Pitas (It's so crushing to dream about a hot English guy offering praise and a promotion ... then wake up to Dave Thomas and a fast-food pita.)
* Ziploc bags (In real life, the cookies would've fallen off the roof the SECOND you hit the dip at the end of the driveway.)
* ABC promo - "Home Improvement"
* ABC promo - "Sports Night"
* ABC Saturday Night Movie bumper
* ABC promo - "The Drew Carey Show" (featuring Kate)
* News 8 Now teaser with Brad Watson (Results for the controversial Dallas ISD District 5 runoff election, passengers stranded by Northwest Airlines pilots' strike, Rangers vs. Chicago, and when will cooler temperatures arrive?)
* '98 Honda Clearance
* Whataburger - "Carl's Commercial"
* "Entertainment Tonight" promo (Julia Roberts, John Travolta and Oprah! Plus, major changes in your favorite shows.)
* News 8 weather teaser with Greg Fields (This just in: Texas summers are hot most of the time.)
* ABC Saturday Night Movie bumper

Break 2:
* Febreze (New amazing product!)
* PSA - Partnership for a Drug-Free America (No, parents, it is NOT OK to rap the "drugs are bad" conversation. Although it might show your kids the consequences of getting high - coming up with ads like this, for example...)
* 10-10-321 (With John Lithgow and his brother)
* Pepperidge Farm Sausalito cookies
* Oldsmobile Discover Days
* Boston Market
* PSA - I Am Your Child
* ABC promo - "The Hughleys"
* ABC promo - "The Secret Lives of Men" (Drew Carey gives the new show's cast a muffin basket and a quick rundown of the ABC hierarchy.)
