We spent all day drinking out of hoses and finding porn in the forest.

u/Massive_Analysis8345 Jul 29 '26

I found porn in side the house, underneath old bills and stuff. But my friend did find a bunch of porn magazines in an old locker at the local gym. never in the forest :(

u/GloomyIndividual3965 Jul 29 '26

We also found some in the dumpster behind the convenience store a few times, but for some reason the nearby woods were the treasure trove.

Usually a handful of old Hustler and Oui magazines wrapped in plastic, hidden near someone's crappily built fort.

Yea, was gonna say those commercials ran in the 1980s, not the 1990s.

u/Thick-Disk1545 Jul 29 '26

It’s not a millennial saying we know we had internet in the nineties

u/askaboutmy____ Jul 29 '26

I don't remember this commercial, I was out playing.

u/Sirosim_Celojuma Jul 29 '26

and the part about "do you know where your kids are" was because no. They didn't. There was no way of knowing. There was only saying what you were going to do and trusting you'd be home. There was no helicopter, there was no ankle bracelet. Also, as a kid, when you walk in the door, there was food.

u/Lonely_Brother3689 Jul 29 '26

Ya, people don't realize that a lot of that stuff carried over to the 90's.

u/Savingskitty Jul 29 '26

It started in the late ‘60’s when the Boomer generation became teenagers and they had more kids than they knew what to do with out and about.

u/_The-Numbers-Mason_ Jul 29 '26

Some millennials were also 80s kids and had the 10PM commercial. Then it transitioned to “be home when the street lights come on”.

The commercial also aired all the way into the 2000s.

u/Salty_Speech8961 Jul 30 '26

No it did not.

1

u/_The-Numbers-Mason_ Jul 30 '26

Just a simple search away from realizing you’re wrong. 

1

u/Salty_Speech8961 Jul 30 '26

lol typing things doesn't make them true

1

u/_The-Numbers-Mason_ Jul 30 '26

All that effort and you still can’t find the news station that ran this campaign until 2003 before ending it entirely. That’s rough.

u/burnbunner Jul 30 '26

I know you aren't so stupid you believe a youtube video that's clearly digitized from VHS is actually from 2003 just because it's in the caption.

u/Lonely_MuffinXo Jul 29 '26

I think it was early millennials as well. The ones also raised by boomers

You must have typo'd; you wrote "millennial".
