Yep, I lost.  At least four times.

I remember that one well, the "Hey good looking we will be back to pick you up later" was one of those iconic lines that got quoted over and over cause of that commercial.

I am sure there are quite a few cheesy commercials from the late 70's and early 80's.  I remember my brother getting one of these:

Yeah, the Mr. Microphone ad was on all the time when I was a kid.  Very much a pop culture meme for a while.

I remember that product, and I BARELY remember the commercial. It was just a high-stimulant candy, a old-timey energy drink. Just caffeine in a square. My mom had a box of Ayds just sitting on the bathroom countertop for any of her three small children to abuse.

Oh. And then she also had ExLax chocolates sitting out. I'm sure at some point one or all of us were both bouncing off the walls and shitting ourselves silly.
