If I need a mental trip back to better days, watching old analog commercials like these is a better time warp than just about anything else. The sound alone is magic to my ears.
Nabisco Shredded Wheat- I can't imagine how anyone could get so excited eating a bland cereal like that. I bet when the cameras stopped fliming that commercial, the people threw away the shredded wheat and brought out their stashes of sugary cereals, like Sugar Smacks. Armour Dinner Classics- I like how all the people in this commercial look so uncomfortable eating food like those dinners. At least a smile managed to escape in the end.
The Royal Romance of Charles and Diana. Dang. I would have been too young in 1982 (I was 4) to know anything about their "romance" or their wedding, and Diana being a new mom of three months at the time, but this is sad in retrospect considering we now know there was very little romance. I could only imagine how the movie was. Also from a historical perspective, this would be right before the Tylenol poisonings of 1982 (late September). I noticed how the medicine bottles in the Bufferin ad didn't look very secured.
Coke continued to produce Tab for years long after this, but was produced in more limited quantities after Diet Coke supplanted it as their primary brand of diet cola in 1982.
@@80sCommercialVault I did not know that! I don’t think I started to drink soft drinks till about 93/94. Even then it was mostly the “kids” flavours like Crush. I’m just happy I was able to try Jolt before is was discontinued from stores in Canada.
My Dad ate those giant shredded wheat every morning. He'd poor boiling water over it and it would become chewy oatmeal type cereal. It wasn't bad with cream and sugar.
Nabisco Shredded Wheat-much better to crush the bigger biscuits in the bag Tempest-not based on the Atari game Tab -he's going to have a long night.. Gloria-shame it didnt last as long as Archie Bunker's Place did KPIX 5 Eyewitness News Update-thankfully the TransAmerica building climb didnt end with the guy splattered on the pavement Square Pegs-was ahead of its time-R.I.P Merritt Buttrick Private Benjamin-Lorna Patterson was no Goldie Hawn
The best part of all these commercials are is you don't hear the phrase DOT COM every few seconds like on all the crap that's on today over the TV and radio. All of the commercials that are produced today are completely worthless and their products are crap.
Imagine wanting to skip these years ago, now sitting here, watching them....

Truth. I go to bed most nights watching these old commercials.Its soothing, feels familiar.
Literally LOL at the tape glitch at the end.
Yay! An early 80s set. What a treat!
I never drank tab, but it made me feel good knowing it was always there.
@@feliciajenkins5041 it was kind of an acquired taste. It's the original diet soda so the aspartame was heavy
Tab did not use aspartame as it predates that sweetener by about 20 years. For most of its history it used saccharin as a sweetener.
@@80sCommercialVault ok right, I remember now. Either way it was just ok.
2:09 - Wow, now there's a movie title that dates itself...

That shredded wheat may be huge but the ad was catchy!

The little girl in the Luvs commercial would be about 40 now.
Square Pegs was an early TV role for Sarah Jessica Parker. She's on the left at 14:29.
We watched Square Pegs back then.
Love the tab cola commercial.remember the early 80s when tab came out
That frozen dinner portion is SOOOOO SMALL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Edit: * insert Chang meme *
Seeing that gave me anxiety.
I kind of wish I could have tried Tab. I was a toddler in the 80s though. :( lol

I preferred it to Diet Coke. When they discontinued it, I was CRUSHed............

5:20 Freddie Laker, one of the most tragic stories in the history of business
Not 100 percent sure, but I think the woman in the Clairol ad is Calli Timmins, who went on to appear on Ryan's Hope and Another World.
I miss Sears. I also miss the days where people actually communicated without cell phones.
Tab wasn't that bad if ice cold but when it slightly warmed up forget it
2:03 love that bumper tune lol

The product was introduced in 1976, six years before these aired.

wow and I thought the MCU spawned a lot of spinoffs, who knew?!
Coke stop making TAB in 2020
I didn't know it was still around. It's still a bummer even if I haven't had any in years
