Today—for some reason—I felt I went a little tough with my questions. Not apologizing or feeling guilty or anything—just wanted to give everyone a polite heads up.😀
Before we get to those festivities - let’s look at a 1980s PSA(Public Service Announcement). I’m guessing it was primarily the 70’s and 80’s that were loaded with PSA’s, but maybe the 90’s had them as well.
Here’s where it gets a little weird - they made tons of anti-drug ones; they made anti-drunk driving ones; they made drive slower ones; they made child safety ones—and they made a don’t drown your food one.
*record scratch*—a “don’t drown your food” one? Was this made by the anti-ketchup lobby? Big Vegetable didn’t want us to enjoy their products dipped in tasty ranch?
I mean—I get it—I guess. I’m not anti-nutrition—Just kind of funny when I think back on seeing this one every week.
