Retro . . . another world for OLD

Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese . . . Can you finish the rest?

Do you remember the Rainbow Brite cereal commercial?

Or Transformers?

If you can remember these commericals (or want to) check out this website that shares "retro" commericals, TV shows, movies, etc. from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

Retro . . . I like that. It's a fancy name for OLD!
