The first one comes from a time when the "Coca" in Coca Cola really gave you a boost.

The second on is fascinating. I wonder when it came from? Was it a problem with TV's in the beginning that the picture would fade after watching a bit? I'd never heard that.

lol jim, I wondered the same thing so I did some research. Here is a pic of a print ad that explains it better. I assume it had an automatic internal antenna so there was no drifting of the signal like when "us kids" had to walk all the way over to the tv and adjust the damn rabbit ears. lol

Wearing tuxedos to watch TV, eh?
Nah. It doesn't go with the dishevelled couch potato look.

I dunno, the woman on the sofa looks like she's ready dressed for a night of couch surfing.

Pearls and all.

Looks like just the pearls. There's no "and all" involved.
