Oh that's right, TAB was the "diet" Coke of the 70's and I remember a Fruit Roll-Up like snack but it was round, the size of a dinner plate and sold at Pier 1. And now I'm hungry.

!2/20. Love these quizzes, but, honestly, it's mostly educated guesses on my part. The vfrozen & McD's questions were fairly easy, but some I really had to think about. I have trouble remembering what day I went to the store last week, let alone when SlimFast came out!
14/20. I'm really shocked that Diet Coke didn't come out until the Eighties!
13/20 I thought I would do better than that.
wrong ! i had a mcrib in florida in august of 1980
The ones I missed were just the next year.
14/20.The most surprising one I missed was slim fast.Did not think it wenr back that far.This was one of the better quizes in a while.
I didn't do to we'll 8/20 didn't guess to well

14/20 Guessed them all.
11 out of 20. I loved Fruit Roll Ups when I was a teenager in the 80's!
11/20. Take another look at the Slim Fast - the lady didn't lose any weight! In the old picture she wore a poofy shirt. In the new picture, she had a dress and better hair. :)
Ah, you found out the secret of advertising. No 'Mad Men' for you.
Poofy shirts weren't around 'til Seinfeld.
Yeah, lol!
