Yes, it's a great tagline. That was a great TRU commercial, a father trying to teach his son baseball and then he's got another youngling on the way that he hopes to follow in the same footsteps...nice PB :)

Yeah, I thought that was a nice commercial. I miss TRU.

That was some great TRU vids. That YouTuber was pretty good. He shouldn't even had the thought of thinking that was silly but it's the way people think as they think nothing of stuff...no you went to TRU for nearly all your childhood and even teenage years every week or so then you become an adult and you find out the store you spent so much time at is gone and your not gonna have even slightest emotion...yeah right :( Even with My horrible Vinnie Mac deal I was 30 and I was still proud to go there because of 2 reasons...1. I was with My Grandma and 2. When I went there that childhood feeling never left, it still felt like the best place you could be :) His video was great and I'd like to see parents showing their kids that and seeing their expressions on their little faces as it meant a lot to their elders :!: Those were really good PB :)

I never saw that 1993 Wendy's UFO commercial before, amazing that was 30 years ago this year :o I was foolish when I was a kid that I never wanted to go to Wendy's on Kingshighway, I either wanted McDonald's or White Castle but i made up for that however in the 2000s when I realized how darn good Wendy's was :) that location sadly went out of business sometime later but a new one moved in the early 2010s were K-Mart was so that was very good. That was really cool PB :)

Strange, I don't think I ever had Wendy's until I was 15. I don't eat beef, so a place who's slogan is about beef, wouldn't get my interest as a kid, and McDonald's had McNuggets, so why go anywhere else, lol. Really as a kid there were three places we usually went if we got food, McDonald's, Denny's (breakfast), or Pizza Hut. But the day of my grandma's funeral, I was hungry, and the closest place we found to where the cemetery was was a Wendy's, so I got a chicken sandwich I thought it was good enough. So that would've been 1994.
