im 42 & from PALMDALE,This takes me back when we new EVERY commercial by heart, & they made us all feel good inside 4 some reason i still cant explain till this day...
I came to the states in 1989 from Mexico and this is the only commercial I remember. I was around 6 years old and to me that commercial represented what America was all about back then; family and hard work.
@@schwarg As a transgender person raised by a single mother who works full time at Staters and who is going to school I don't know how to feel about that.
@@unsc2060 You can feel however you want. You can choose to be offended, or choose not to be offended and move on with your life. It’s really that simple.

@@lost_times-j4c It's still an added expense. One of these days, after you've grown up into mid-life adulthood and have your own bills to pay, you'll realize that shit like this cuts into your disposable income, it all adds up.
I remember this commercial when I was about 12 years old, and for some reason I woke up with it in my head this morning. Shows you the strength and power of programming.
Wow, I remember this commercial as if it were yesterday, it's funny how I remember all the words still. I loved growing up in the heartland of California...
Took me back to my bedroom watching tv and this commercial would come on my sister reading a book and mom cooking dinner waiting for pops to come home.
born and raised in Tustin (Orange County), California in 1986 and my mom took me to Stater Bros. on Sundays after church for a cookie and groceries for the week....oh such memories....love Stater Bros so much! So much nostalgia from these commercials
I am old enough to remember when this originally aired on TV. I am 32. This came on during my first year of kindergarten. There were still some TV channels coming in with black and white. Only rich people had cable TV. Most people got their entertainment from playing outside. Saturday morning cartoons taught life morals. Commercials still hand jingles. "Growing Pains" was still on TV. The Sears catalog arriving each year just in time for Christmas shopping was a life-changing event. Cigarettes were actually still sold in vending machines at public parks. Kmart had a food service section. The pizza at Chuck-E-Cheese was actually good. Taco Bell was a sit-down gourmet restaurant with wood panel seats. Good times.
I love how everything you can think of is easy to find online. I have had this song running through my mind periodically since the 1980s. I haven't heard it since then but it's just a weird commercial song memory. Funny to actually hear it again not sung by me lol
I've been a Staters employee for just over 12 years now. They USED to be a good company to work for. Just gets worse every year there. I can't take that job much longer, I'm about ready to quit. And it really makes me sick to my stomach (as a father and family man myself) that they STILL try to pass themselves off as "family friendly," quite the opposite. They just want your money and hate their employees with a passion and could care less if you need to spend time with your own family.
Dear old Staters! This is when Jack Brown ran the show. May he rest in peace. Things have changed. Under new management they've moved away from the heartland. They lost their way and the stores are nothing like the way they were years ago. But this little song brings back great memories of when we had our own chain of supermarkets in the I.E. in the heartland. ❤
_In the fartland, we're fartin' hard, in the fartland, _*_right in your back yard._* My brothers and I couldn't have been the only ones singing that at school as children.
Like Stater Bros. I am from the "heartland". Riverside, CA. We shopped at Stater Bros my whole childhood (Ralph's too). Now that my husband and I live out of state, I miss Starters.
But you never know who will say what. Most people actually don't want bags because they're 10c but it's funny because they're better quality and we actually encourage people to bring their reusable bags and people constantly forget them. Haha
Good Stater Brothers. I lived in orange CA in the 90s close to Tustin and Collins Avenue and I use to do my grocery shopping rihgt there at that Stater Brothers. Now I am back in México. But that ad stayed with me foerever. May God Bless the USA. My second Home.
A more wholesome commercial from a more civilized age. I was born in the 80's the day after the Orbiter Space Shuttle Challenger had her fatal mishap. However, I remember these commercials very well, that have resignated with me throughout my entire life, even after moving here to Utah where there's not a single Stater Bro's in sight what-so-ever. I seriously miss that store as it was a part of my life. Also, thanks for Carl's Jr. I much that stuff down a lot these days.
born in Pomona lived in Palmdale my hole life till moving here 2 Utah in 2009 been here every since, we watched the challenger blow up in every elementary school in LA county back then
When I hear the very opening of this theme song.. I automatically think to myself " I AM FROM VENICE? WHAT OF IT?" I am not a heartland boy at all, Venice local through and through, but this commercial still has a soft spot in my heart. oh well.
I'm not sure if most would consider Hemet to be part of the IE, but they still have TONS of dairy farms out there; Hemet is pretty close to Riverside. Also, East Riverside and Moreno Valley have TONS of warehouses, even more than before.
It's funny, I grew up in south western AZ, right next to the California border. We didn't have a Stater Bros...when we would go on trips to California we never stopped at a Stater Bros. In fact, I've never even seen one. And yet, because our local TV stations partnered with ones in Cali, I remember seeing this damned commerical all the time growing up as a kid. Im 38 now but still catch myself singing it from time to time 😂
i remember watching this as a kids now I do my shopping at the Allsups gas station in the 505 and wouldn't change it for nothing. they have a catchy jingle we have Allsups burritos and chimichangas. que mas quieren
...but I do remember this commercial from when I was a kid! Nice to know that the same lame ugly uniforms they make us wear are still the same ones they wore over 25 years ago.
ahhhh.....back when Men still married Women, Children played outside, Cars were still made of steel, Music was sung by real talent, Roads were still unfinished, the 250 page SEARS holiday catalog was in your house, and Grocery products were still very real! Glad to have been born in California in the summer of 1980
The violent crime rate was off the charts compared to today, but okay...whatever you say. Never mind middle aged and older folks back then also complained about society in the 80s.
I grew up in Burbank & West Hollywood, Century City, Santa Monica etc. and I hope California conservatives like KFI AM 640 (in southern California) John & Ken, Tucker Carlson, and Adam Corolla, even Ben Shapiro and also Independents like John Stossel & Joe Rogan...can join the battle to stop current C.A. Governor.. Gavin Newsom and his liberal mafia from destroying our once Beautiful California!...and big F-You to Nancy Pelosi, and former California Governor Jerry Brown!..
There's WAYYY MORE chemicals in food now, which alters the taste...compare a bottle of ketchup from 2013 to a bottle from 1992 and you'll see the ingredient list grow dramatically... #ProudOldSchoolJunkie
What the fuck happened to America? When I used to buy food from Stater Bros back in the day their food was actually really good and super cheap. I'd walk in with 40 bucks and walk out with 2 weeks worth of food. I shop there now...The food quality is shit, I mean shit, and it costs more.If I go shopping and get 2 bags worth of stuff that only lasts me 4 days it costs me 90 bucks. Wht a rip off.
mike green well for one thing California ain't what it used to be & American is kinda a fucking joke now adays sry to say seems like any smuck can be president now weather its trump Or Hillary the damn Quality of American is just going to get worse whoever is in office & that also means markets are going to be shity as well

Oh that is so cool!
Largest independent grocery chain left in the US, right here in the Inland Empire. One of the few things that still right about California.
Me too I grew up in SO CAL I do remember this commerical
I miss my childhood. Thank for being a part of it Stater Bros.

Back when California 🌴 was a Red State 😃 🇺🇸
I long for California to be a red state again. I still live here and democrat policies have been terrible...

Oh man, flashback... Wow.. Thought id never see this again...
I work in the heartland and hear this song every time I call off
I wanna play this jingle over the paging system at a local stater bros! That would be awesome!
Its played in their phone call waiting system.
Sometimes when we accidentally “park” the phone while dialing *0 which is the intercom this song plays over the speakers

I never saw one in L.A. U would have to drive to Orange County.
well, somehow it bubbled up in my mind, and I find this after searching for "heartland state bros"
A once great state
I too long for the Days of Zorro.
I didn't remember the song,but I remembered the drawn out Stater Bros at the end.
yes!! do that...that would be awsome..hey thats a damn good idea..take video of it too..haha..lets do it
Jesus, I can confidently say I haven’t heard this song since the 90s! Early 90s at that. I’m still waiting for the girl next door to become my wife!
