Since were on the topic of '80s commercials, here's a memorable one from 1983. This touching ad is one of the more memorable commercials for fast food, and it still brings out some emotions seeing it today. I got a little misty myself watching it.
It also fit well, both back then and today, with my interest in nostalgia which was present even when I was a young nerdy teen in middle school. I always try to guess which years each stage of this commercial takes place in.
