It's Flashback Friday so here are 20 pictures of mascots, spokes critters, and marketing nostalgia that will take you back to yesteryears.

1.
Go on... say it.... BUD.... WISE... ERRRRRR. Yeah Louie, I loved these ads.
2.
EVERYONE wanted a dog like Spuds
3.
I never could figure out what a mummy or marshmallow had to do with tires
4.
And we all loved to hate this one
5.
I am the only one in the world who can prevent forest fires!!!!???? No pressure.
6.
Whatever happened to Elsie the cow?
7.
Everyone thought the Energizer Bunny would keep going and going and....
8.
One of my few toddler temper tantrums was when I emptied the entire box looking for the pink man inside. I was so sad that the commercial showed the pink, funny bubble. My three year old brain took advertising lies as truth.
9.
10.
Every orange cat in the 70s and 80s was either Garfield or Morris (oh yeah, the occasional Heath Cliff)
11.
Cooooooooo-ooookie crisp and I SWEAR it tastes different now than in the '80s, there's even a different texture
12.
Fruit striped gum~ the flavor didn't even last long enough for you to throw the wrapper away.
13.
And this old one
14.
Mr. Whipple- how many did the squeeeeeze test?
15.
16.
And the dancing 7up spots
17.
This one would be too violent for tv today (it shows an innocent man being punched for no reason)
18.
Myyyy how Lucky charms has changed
19.
And the rooster on the corn flakes box
20.
Even good ole' Tucan looked better back then.
