Where To Watch
Can you remember what these 1989 advertisements were selling?
Try to guess what these ads were pushing.
From Max Headroom to Spuds MacKenzie, from "Where's the beef?" to "Time to make the doughnuts," the Eighties had its fair share of memorable advertising.
We gathered some commercials and print ads from the last year of the decade, 1989. See if you can match the image to the correct product. Good luck!

Just an FYI, the brand is called Maxell, not Maxwell. There is no W. And yes, they're still around.
12 outta 13

You got 10 out of 13-Impressive! If we didn't know better, we'd think you were working with two brains. Missed #5 (the name Cheeseburger Deluxe didn't sound familiar but I still thought it was McD since BK already used tomatoes), #8 (outsmarted myself. I thought it might have been the MM, but I didn't think MeTV would have 2 cigarette ads in the same quiz) and #11 (had no idea, never saw the movie). Not too bad I guess.
I've got a framed poster in my living room that spoofs the Maxell ad. There's a cat on top of the TV yawning at the guy in the chair, and the caption at the bottom reads "Tuna Breath".

13/13! It's 8am and now I want cigarettes and booze, thanks 1989! I had forgotten how prevalent cigarette ads were back then, no wonder I started smoking a year later. I remember saving "Camel Bucks" to trade in for stuff from Camel's brand catalog. At least you got "something" from them instead of just black-lung. Glad I kicked it. I still have their lava lamp.
