Charlie Faulk Auto. Keep bringing the memories. I love this channel! Hampton Roads 💪

Dead Poets Society. Wow! I remember that being in the theater. Bless you for posting these videos.

The irony of that Slice commercial is that Sprite and 7up are still around, whereas Slice was replaced by Sierra Mist by the 2000's.

And Sierra Mist gave way to Starry about a year ago. 😆
