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.
