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?

    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.
