      Apparently there’s a whole glitch in the matrix deal around this, because other people remember seeing them too (I saw a post on reddit) and I wasn’t born much before the 90s. I definitely remember Virginia slim commercials like back to back with RC cola ads during the daytime. I wonder if it was maybe from recorded vhs tapes or something because I can legit picture seeing these ads on tv in my childhood home.

          It’s the only reasonable explanation I can come up with. The weird part is (it must just be tied to when I saw them?) they were decidedly in like a late 80s early 90s style. I’m mystified.

            I made the original comment.

            I picked ‘cigarette commercials’ because that seemed like the most obnoxious thing a kid could sing.

            Wasn’t expecting to get people focused on that.

            Who knew?

                Speaking as a former child myself, I can say that they are in fact terrible people with absolutely no boundaries.
