Heh, "back in the good ol' days".  The Wendy's one kinda puts today's gas prices in perspective: $1.99 for a classic combo = $5.99 today, just as gas is 3x the average price in '89.

I like this Taco Bell commercial better, since it uses one of the original buildings!  Every now & then, I'll see a building while traveling, & realise it used to be a Taco Bell!  We have one of those old ones in our area, my dad & middle brother used to do the floors there late at nite :P


Wow, & this commercial is funny!  I remember the days when Jack was there to take your order, awww the memories!

Remember the buildings that had an actual bell in the top instead of a silly picture of a bell like now days?
I miss that.

Actual transformation time may vary.  GI Joe guns do not really shoot.  Barbie does not walk & talk & dance & sing!  :D
