My aunt let me use her gorilla bag (American Tourister) carry on bag in the 80s & I still have it. Never saw the commercial until now - thank you!

The first two commercials I remember both used initialisms they made up -- BO for body odor, and VPL for visible panty lines.

Samsonite! Could have used kids instead. I know we put ours through the ringer.

My brother and I jumped up and down on our grandmotherās luggage to see if it was an āAmerican Twister.ā Spoiler, it was not, nor was it an American Tourister.

That's one of those mandela effect things, I thought the same thing until somebody corrected me.

That's what I remembered too but it was American Tourister.

Definitely American Tourister, I put this up in another conversation about a week ago about Sunday night TV.

Yes, and I remember my father laughing so hard the first time he saw it while choking on the Schlitz he was drinking.

I think thatās the same gorilla from Trading Places.

I don't want to say how long I thought that this was a very real possibility behind those hanging plastic strips on the baggage conveyor.

I always joke about Walmart's groceries going through the gorilla room. Half of their boxes are crushed or ripped, and the canned goods are often dented.
