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.

Also some ad campaigns just lasted forever hell some just updated the commercials on occasion. You can now hear the Empire Carpet jingle.
