    The only reason people think it’s fancy is because of some dumb commercials made in the 80s.

      Those weren’t from the '90s? Am I so old that I’m now conflating these decades?

        Yes, and I’m sorry. I’m also right there with you.

        Also, don’t forget to take your medication this evening.

        They were referenced in Wayne’s World in 1992 and I’m guessing that they were at least a couple of years old by then.

          Yup, you’re right. I was actually pulling up to people in traffic and asking them this in '92. Because I thought it was hilarious.

          It still is, but it used to be, too

              Also some ad campaigns just lasted forever hell some just updated the commercials on occasion. You can now hear the Empire Carpet jingle.

                I’m pretty sure they revived the ad campaign in the 90s

        They continued into the '90s, but they started in the '80s. The whole two rich people riching at each other is a very '80s esthetic.

        They were in both decades. And well into the 00’s.

      Excuse me, those commercials from the 80s are a very important piece of early millennial culture.

      Same reason people think “Corinthian leather” is fancy – when there’s actually no such thing as Corinthian leather.
