      That ad campaign started in 99, its really more of a 2000’s thing.

        The 90s were from 1995 to 2005. That’s just my opinion. I know it sounds dumb. Many things from 1990 to 1994 feel like the 80’s.

      Outside of America, this is interpreted as a reference to Scary Movie instead of the budweiser ad.

          I mean, I wasn’t in charge of getting them, but learning about it was painful enough. I was young, and faith in humanity hadn’t been burned out of me yet.

      I remember this from the school library computers. That and even back then the school had some kind of broadband, it blew my mind that to get online all we had to do was open IE. I was used to that part but always had whatever dial up service we had at the time to open up and connect first. Just clicking IE and going was crazy to me.
