There's no better time to hit rewind and revisit "The Rant," Molson Canadian's "I Am Canadian" ad campaign from the early 2000's - because nostalgia tastes as crisp as a cold one.

A #flashback to the '90s CBS series where The Flash plays an electric guitar at high speed to take down villain Beauregarde Lesko's drug syndicate in the episode 'Child's Play.'

A throwback to a #CBS TV commercial for 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles,' an American #comedy starring Steve Martin and John Candy. Released in 1987, has since earned just under $50 million at the box office.

A look back at a #1990s GM Goodwrench commercial featuring some 'Shop Talk' with Don Seiferman, a mechanic at Ackerman Buick. With GM Goodwrench shocks, Don could guarantee both the 'parts, and the labour.'

A look back at a short 1990s CBS commercial promoting the CBS Evening News with Dan Rather, highlighting that while you 'never know where history will unfold, you always know where to turn' for the news.

Oh my, and that was the "American way," apparently. Cringe.

#Flashback to the '90s with this Burger King commercial for the International Chicken Sandwich. Featuring Italian, French, and American variations, these sandwiches were made 'your way... right away.'

A throwback to the early #1990s with a commercial for French's Creamy Spread, a mild #mustard that offered 'the right taste for light foods.' Low in fat and cholesterol free, the product was condiment-ary to the Surgeon General's push for healthier eating habits at that time. #mayo #sandwich #vhs

A flashback to a 1991 commercial for #Nissan, which began building award-winning cars with 'cold rolled steel' but ended up 'making history.'

A rewind to a #1990s Sears Charge Bonus Club commercial, promising 'money saving certificates' when you use their charge card - because 'If you get it at Sears, you get something back.'

Turns out Philips lost a trademark battle with Philco in the 1940s and had to use Norelco for their U.S. products until 1981, when they finally bought the Philco company.

A look back at a classic commercial for #Norelco's new E-Z Steam Iron, promising a more efficient iron to 'take the #wrinkles out of ironing.'

Hey Chris! Posting whatever I find as I digitize our family videos - mainly '80s, '90s, and some early 2000's but by then I had a DVD recorder.

A rewind to a '90s commercial for the new Oil Of Olay Foaming Face Wash, a soap-free cleanser that promised to change 'the way you wash your face forever.'

Taking a flash-back (eh-hem) to the early 1990s with the intro to CBS's television series The Flash. John Wesley Shipp starred as Barry Allen and The Flash, and was joined by Amanda Pays and Alex Désert in this classic adaptation of the DC comic.

A #throwback to a #1990s commercial for Arm & Hammer's Potpourri Carpet & Room Deodorizer and Deodorizing Air Freshener - both formulated for that 'natural freshness from the baking soda experts.'

A look at the #1990s commercial for the new Finesse Conditioner #Perm Formula, designed specifically for permed hair so 'your curls always look perfect.' Its 'self-adjusting formula' provided the right amount of conditioning - because 'sometimes you need a little, sometimes you need a lot.' #vhs

A rewind to a #1990s commercial for Parke-Davis' #Sinutab, "America's #1 one sinus medicine." This over-the-counter medication was marketed as both a #painkiller and #decongestant to relieve #sinus #headaches and "Stop the pain."

A rewind to this Ultra Slim-Fast commercial from the #1990s featuring Tommy Lasorda, Canadian and American Baseball Hall of Famer. Notably, Lasorda successfully coached the L.A. Dodgers before winning two World Series championships as their manager.
