Calgary and Edmonton are two large cities 300km apart, but when I moved here in summer 1995, I realized that there were many fundamental differences. One is that YYC Chicken on the Way is a storefront, whereas YEG's Chicken on the Way was a cheerful red and white truck that showed up at your doorstep! A quick Google shows that this service seems to no longer be and that Chicken on the Way is the same there as here now. I always wished I could order Chicken on the Way as a kid. Every time the truck showed up in my neighbourhood, someone was getting a treat!

I have to manually link to it here - every time I copy and paste the code, I get an ad for a Power Glove for some reason.

I'd actually never seen these hilarious microwave style Jiffy Pop bowls before! The ad is older than I am [just by a year, lol] but I grew up only eating the stove-top version of Jiffy Pop.

First up, this hilarious 1970s ad from Lebanon. If you can translate the Arabic phrase they keep saying, I'd be most grateful.

And Ray-O-Vac's "Light When You Need It" series from the 1950s:

( FOUR MORE! )

Right on the terrifying Pennywise doll hiding under your child's crib!

( AND FOUR MORE AGAIN! )

I was at the drugstore a few months ago and I was totally surprised to see that Herbal Essences was still being made! I bought some of the Tea-lightfully Clean shampoo but was disappointed that it didn't have the scalp tingling zing of other tea tree oil shampoos. To be honest, it smells like candy for some reason.

The ads totally sold me on the product - as a young adult they were pretty edgy for the time and I liked the shampoo a lot for a while. I looked up some of the newer ads and they are positively boring!
