image from a 1981 commercial for the Shake-an-Egg Easter egg dye coloring kit. A mother is seated at a table in between her daughter, on the viewer's left, and son, on the right. They have the Shake-an-Egg kit open and spread out on the table, and they are placing eggs in bags filled with coloring crystals to shake them.

When It Came to Coloring Easter Eggs, Were You a Shake-an-Egg or PAAS Person?

No matter which Easter egg dye kit you might have used back in the day, did it ever seem like you ended up coloring your table more than the eggs?

13 of the Best Classic Super Bowl Commercials Ever!

Yep, it is mostly “Bud” “Wise” “Er,” but a few others made the cut too.

image from the commercial for Apple's new Macintosh commercial that aired during the Super Bowl on Jan. 22, 1984. In the center of the image is a blond-haired woman wearing red shorts and a white tank top that has an artistic illustration of the Macintosh computer on it. She has a determined look on her face as she runs down an aisle in a dark, dystopian, '1984'-like world, with helmeted stormtroopers behind her in the distance in pursuit. The woman is clutching a hammer in both hands as she runs, preparing to throw it at a giant screen (not seen here) on which Big Brother is giving a propaganda speech.

Directed by Ridley Scott, the commercial aired just once, but made quite an impact and remains memorable.
