1. Yep. Also remember being very uncomfortable |
|
and thinkin the guy who designed the maidenform bra was either a misogynist or grew up on an island without women and lacked a frame of reference.

2. I remember one in a MAD 'Ads We'd Like to See' bit |
|
A woman in a track meet was hitting the tape bust-first. The copy said, "I dreamed I was way out in front in my Maidenform Bra."
:D

8. I totally missed that cultural nugget |
|
what year were these?
On a related note, I do remember, many years ago, dreaming that I was pair of Victoria's Secret under garments. :P

21. What do you mean 'tryin'? |
|
I was really good at it. Damned near ambidextrous.
Now I wonder...were there 'rules'? You would NEVER be so crass as to reach around and use BOTH hands. But if you could sort of subtlety, almost 'accidently', do it with just ONE hand, then that was kinda OK(?).
I will NEVER forget the time I fumbled around and fumbled around and she finally said "Um...the catch is IN FRONT." whoa

12. Every. Single. Time.... |
|
...I hear the word "toreador" I get this stuck in my head:
"Toreador, oh don't spit on the floor. Please use the cuspidor, that's what it's for."
(from the Simpsons episode where they go to the opera. First season.)

23. They were really stupid ads.... |
|
and that is saying a lot, given how stupid most ads are.
And I think it was more the 1960s and 1970s, vs. the 1980s. Showing my age here.
