    Pointing out how long ago the 70s were is elder abuse.

      I first heard of Richard Simmons in the 70s when he had a bit part on General Hospital. Summer of '78...

    4:26 funny how BRB is never used any more, doesnt need to be used. back then texting with someone meant having to sit in front of your computer while texting with someone. needed to go do something? you needed to let the other person know you would be right back so when you didnt immediately respond to their text they knew why. i kinda miss those days of being on your computer then seeing that your friend was online and getting excited cause now you can chat with them.

    5:35. I remember when the news came out about the tombstone engraving. People seemed to be quite upset with Disney... but the reality is that US IP law requires the owner of that IP to defend it, else the IP is completely lost forever.
    So it isn't fair to blame Disney - blame American Intellectual Property law.

    6:05 Wait!... Fruit-Stripe Gum was just recently discontinued? I thought it was discontinued 20+ years ago. I was a teenager the last time I seen Fruit-Stripe gum.
    I don't know why but thats actually making me emotional. I know thats sounds ridiculous being saddened over gum, I guess sometimes nostalgia really hits hard.
    I know you could only chew Fruit-Stripe for about 30 seconds before all the flavor was gone... But still that 30 seconds of chewing was amazing.

    It feels like the 70s were only 20 or so years ago. I grew up through the 70s and 80s and despite being in my mid / late 50s I still feel like a kid (apart from the aches and pains)

    George’s fiancé died after licking envelopes, not stamps.

    • @happyfacefries
      @happyfacefries 27 дней назад

      Yes, this is important because stamps would be just stamps. The envelopes were the cheapest George found and it went to show just how cheap he was and the irony of the situation lol

    I am from Utah and the Utah Truffles really are that good!!! They are so rich and melt in your mouth. My favorite is the mint which isn't weak but not strong. It's just the right level to give you enough to satisfy that taste. Haven't tried the ones you mentioned, but omg i want one now. *chef's kiss*
    I love Costco's danishes

      Based on what she said, I think they misinterpreted the data. She said it was the most searched acronym, which I think means it's the most unfamiliar one that still gets somewhat regular use. All the typing it in is people trying to find out what it means

    Stars on the Walk of Fame are not dependant on talent. They are not awarded, they are purchased either by the artist or by fans and friends of the artist. The requirement is the artist be involved with radio, television, movies, music or literature.
