Hungry for some nostalgia? Here’s a serving of food and restaurant commercials that aired on ABC television in January 1990 — back when the prices were low and the jingles unforgettable.
🍟 Commercials included in this compilation:
“Cheese” – starring Willard Scott in a delightfully cheesy spot
Wendy’s Dave’s Deluxe Burger – when Dave Thomas himself made every burger look like a masterpiece
Tic Tac – minty fresh moments from a simpler time
Subway – the $1.99 sandwich deal! (Yes, before the $5 Footlong ever existed)
It’s hard to believe now, but long before the “$5 Footlong” became a national jingle, Subway sandwiches were only $1.99 — and that deal didn’t need a song to make it memorable!
Digitally preserved from an original 1990 ABC broadcast, this short compilation captures the taste and tone of the early ’90s — when fast food looked bigger, commercials were catchier, and everything felt freshly made for television.
Part of the “ABC 1990 Commercials” series — see other category uploads for Beauty, Cars, Health, Home, and TV Promos.
