    From what daddy told me- Jan was about as tough as a man could be… I have concluded he was mentally ill.

    The "Uncola" and "Limon" are the 7-UP commercials I remember most.

    Given the way Bird played against the Rockets in 86, I actually thought he made all these shots in real life when I was a kid. Hell, he probably did...

    I thought of posting that one too. Truthfully though, I remember his voice and little laugh more than any one commercial.

    I've never liked eating dinner after dark and I think it's due to a childhood nightmare of being murdered by a McDonald's demon named "Mac Tonight."

    The Crying Indian was one of the first commercials I thought of when I read this thread title. That powerful imagery really grabbed me as a kid. Here's an interesting story about it. Iron Eyes Cody had at first resisted doing the commercial because, as he insisted, ''Indians don't cry. '' He was convinced to do the commercial by Lady Bird Johnson.
