AT&T Inc. is an American multinational conglomerate holding company headquartered at Whitacre Tower in Downtown Dallas, Texas.[5] It is the worlds largest telecommunications company, the second largest provider of mobile telephone services, and the largest provider of fixed telephone services in the United States through AT&T Communications. Since June 14, 2018, it is also the parent company of mass media conglomerate WarnerMedia, making it the worlds largest media and entertainment company in terms of revenue.[6]
AT&T began its history as Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, a subsidiary of the Bell Telephone Company, founded by Alexander Graham Bell in 1880. The Bell Telephone Company evolved into American Telephone and Telegraph Company in 1885, which later rebranded as AT&T Corporation. The 1982 United States v. AT&T antitrust lawsuit resulted in the divestiture of AT&T Corporations (Ma Bell) subsidiaries or Regional Bell Operating Companies (Baby Bells), resulting in several independent companies including Southwestern Bell Corporation; the latter changed its name to SBC Communications Inc. in 1995. In 2005, SBC purchased its former parent AT&T Corporation and took on its branding, with the merged entity naming itself AT&T Inc. and using its iconic logo and stock-trading symbol. In 2006, AT&T Inc. acquired BellSouth, the last independent Baby Bell company, making their formerly joint venture Cingular Wireless (which had acquired AT&T Wireless in 2004) wholly owned and rebranding it as AT&T Mobility.
The current AT&T reconstitutes much of the former Bell System, and includes ten of the original 22 Bell Operating Companies along with the original long distance division.[7] At&t commercial 1996 - come back free](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e3r_V7mBWDs/mqdefault.jpg)

![Cool whip - tv commercial - 1988
Cool Whip is a brand of imitation whipped cream, referred to as a whipped topping by its manufacturer, Kraft Heinz. It is used in North America as a topping for desserts and in some no-bake pie recipes as a convenience food that does not require whipping and maintains its texture without melting.
Cool Whip has a longer shelf life than cream while frozen. On the other hand, it does not have the same flavor and texture as whipped cream, and it costs nearly 50 percent more.[1][2][3][4] It was originally described as non-dairy despite containing the milk protein casein; it now also includes milk. The product is sold frozen and must be defrosted in the refrigerator before being used Cool whip - tv commercial - 1988](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eDyLSxvUEZs/mqdefault.jpg)

![Soloflex commercial - 1996
Soloflex refers to both the Soloflex exercise machine and to Soloflex, Inc., the company that created and produces it. Instead of pulleys, the Soloflex used an elastomer Weightstrap made of heavy-duty rubber to create variable resistance. The company started out as Bucksteel Mfg in Roswell, New Mexico, in a small plant on the old Army Air Force base south of town. It is now based in Hillsboro, Oregon.

History
Soloflex, Inc. was established in 1978 by Jerry Wilson. The idea behind the weight straps came from Jerrys days flying small airplanes. The resistance on the planes controls came from the bungee cord. Jerry used this idea to create the Weightstraps that provide enough resistance to equal large amounts of free weight.
In 1980, the company relocated to Hillsboro, Oregon. After the move to Oregon, Bucksteel changed its name to Soloflex. The company then used model Scott Madsen in an infomercial to promote their product.[1] By 1984 the companys sales had grown to $18 million annually.[2] Over time, several additions to the machine were made such as butterfly attachments and leg extensions. The newest product addition is the Soloflex Whole Body Vibration (WBV) Platform. Vibrating while you are lifting weights is thought to magnify the conditioning effects to help promote faster muscle growth.

![Diet Mountain Dew - tv commercial - 2002 - old lady
Mountain Dew (stylized as Mtn Dew) is a carbonated soft drink brand produced and owned by PepsiCo. The original formula was invented in 1940 by Tennessee beverage bottlers Barney and Ally Hartman. A revised formula was created by Bill Bridgforth[1] in 1958. The rights to this formula were obtained by the Tip Corporation of Marion, Virginia.[2] William H. Bill Jones of the Tip corporation further refined the formula, launching that version of Mountain Dew in 1961.[3] In August 1964, the Mountain Dew brand and production rights were acquired from Tip by the Pepsi-Cola company, at which point distribution expanded more widely across the United States and Canada.[4]
Between the 1940s and 1980s, there was just one variety of Mountain Dew, which was citrus-flavored and caffeinated in most markets. Diet Mountain Dew was introduced in 1988,[5] followed by Mountain Dew Red, which was introduced and subsequently discontinued in 1988.[6] In 2001, a cherry flavor called Code Red debuted. This product line extension trend has continued, with expansion into specialty, limited time production, region-specific, and retailer-specific (Taco Bell, 7-Eleven) variations of Mountain Dew.
Production was extended to the UK in 1996, but was phased out in 1998. A similarly named but very different-tasting product has been sold in the UK under the name Mountain Dew Energy since 2010 and in Ireland since the spring of 2011. The product was renamed in 2014 to simply Mountain Dew.[7] As of 2009, Mountain Dew represented a 6.7 percent share of the overall carbonated soft drinks market in the United States.[8] Its competition includes The Coca-Cola Companys Mello Yello and Surge, and Dr Pepper Snapple Groups Sun Drop; Mountain Dew accounts for 80 percent of citrus soft drinks sold within the United States.[9] Diet Mountain Dew - tv commercial - 2002 - old lady](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/feJPcKevfkU/mqdefault.jpg)
