    Does anyone else remember back in the days of VCR, the networks wanted to push a technology that disallows you from fast-forwarding through ad breaks on the stuff you recorded?

    Pepperidge Farm remembers.

      Does that last sentence make this comment an advertisement?

        I guess, technically yes. Does that mean I have to specify that I am in no way endorsed by or representing Pepperidge Farms and that I cannot attest the quality of their products because they are not offered in my country (or at least I haven’t seen them)? Is that The Way It’s Meant To Be Played?

          Is pepperidge farms a real product? I thought it was a Simpsons reference.

          Now I hope they were the ones behind the meme.

            They’re like, a cookie company? If you’ve ever had a milano cookie thats them, pretty good usually.

            It’s a commercial bakery and “Pepperidge Farm remembers” is their slogan. Here is the old commercial that inspired the Family Guy cut-away.

      I also remember when TiVO got their asses temporarily handed them by ReplayTV, which didn’t even record the commericials!
