The Memory Button

[Johnny Unusual]

Just a thread for when something hits your memory in a way palpably. Like "I forgot ____ until now."

For me, it isn't a song or a show. Its just this title card from Sesame Street.

It was seared into my brain long ago but has only now been unearthed.

I forgot about Dre once.

I hope he never finds out. He'd probably be very disappointed in me.

I just had a really powerful memory of how the first trip to the library of summer vacation felt when I was a kid. I miss that kind of feeling.

I just remembered the Foundation for a Better Life, the project by some old oil executive to spend his money that I always called the Foundation to License Maudlin Pop Music or the Foundation to Obfuscate Structural Problems

 

[Johnny Unusual]

I remember this, I think. Is it the one with the "He's Not Heavy" commercial?

 

[muteKi]

Did they show up in Canada at all? They started going in the mid-2000s, I believe. Their weird catchphrase was "pass it on"

 

[Johnny Unusual]

I remember this one from the VHS taped from the TV of the Ewoks movie.

Someone posted this in Discord and it activated neurons in my brain that have lain dormant since 1990

 

[Johnny Unusual]

I... think I remember seeing these (though never having these) but I might be conflating them with another brand name cookie sandwich with a face.

 

[Exposition Owl]

Whoa. That’s a memory, alright.
