I quote this ad far more regularly than what seems necessary. 😂

[-]

Crans10@reddit

I had this shirt. Sadly someone stole it from my dorm room.

[-]

Feral_Sheep_@reddit

I still have it. My daughter likes wearing it now.

[-]

Ant_Lantern@reddit

I got in trouble for wearing it to school. So I wore it more. Then I got banned from wearing it period or risked expulsion. Stupid small town school system.

[-]

OutlawJuicyWhales@reddit

I once knew a guy with a variant of this shirt that absolutely killed: "MAKE 7 FUCK YOU"

[-]

Cactilily@reddit

My ex-bf used to work for Pepsi and had those. Of course I “borrowed” a couple. They were so cozy

I think we established that "kaka-kaka" and "tookie-tookie" don't work.

mrs_hippiequeen@reddit

i rewatched this recently, and in the scene where they're talking about quicksand, some of them are wearing underarmour! i didn't know it existed back then 👀

[-]

KellyAnn3106@reddit

I had the Levi's "Button Your Fly" shirt. My dad thought it was inappropriate for a preteen girl to be wearing.

[-]

AstuteStoat@reddit

That was my gateway tshirt. It opened the gates to other silly tshirts.

[-]

MoxEric@reddit

Oh SHIT I had this shirt and forgot all about it!

[-]

mrs_hippiequeen@reddit

our school would make every person who wore it turn it inside out 😂

[-]

Shirkaday@reddit

Yep, definitely got in trouble for it a couple times. I wasn't the only one either! 1997 IIRC...

[-]

mrs_hippiequeen@reddit

what's wild is when i see this shirt, i think of colombine

[-]

b1gd4ddychubb5@reddit

Had one. Some tweaker stole it from me

[-]

Rare_Background8891@reddit

Omg! We were just talking about this today!

When did the phrase “up yours” go away anyway? My kids had no idea what it meant and had never heard it. I pointed out it’s a famous line in Independence Day which they have seen.

[-]

RodinKnox@reddit

As kids, we loved all the variations. "Up your nose with a rubber hose!" in particular saw a lot of use.

[-]

Tall-Introduction414@reddit

Seymour Skinner/Armen Tanzarian in 1998, driving away on a motorcycle. "Up yours, children!"

[-]

Royal-Wealth-8266@reddit

Possibly because of this ad? It needs a comeback.

[-]

HTownGuero666@reddit

I had it and wore it with great pride my freshman year of college. One of the dumbest, best ads ever.

[-]

RodinKnox@reddit

I absolutely did the same and wore that shirt until it wore out, and I had to get rid of it.

[-]

GringoSwann@reddit

I did that with a pair of jean shorts.. Blew the crotch out them thangs...

[-]

moneyparty@reddit

You gotta take em off every now and then. YOU GOTTA TAKE EM OFF SON!

[-]

I had a teacher try to make me turn it inside out or go home. So I elected to go home, but I stopped by the front office for a copy of the student handbook. After confirming it did not violate any rules, I wore the shirt again the next day and made the teacher accompany me to the principal’s office for a spirited debate that I won. I was a student hero for like two, two and a half days.

[-]

estephens13@reddit

Me too. The problem was every time I wore it half the people I saw would just yell "Up yours!" at me and I would be supper confused for half a second till I remembered I was wearing it.

[-]

timiam@reddit

Me too! I got mine on a visit to the Mall of America and wore the crap out of it.

[-]

_jackson_0@reddit

That ad campaign was peak 90s marketing genius. You were definitely the coolest person in the dorm.

[-]

HTownGuero666@reddit

It was. And I now work in marketing 😂

[-]

RuncibleFoon@reddit

I had this shirt, wore it waaay longer than was socially acceptable. Stopped wearing it the day I interacted with "peers" who no longer understood the reference.

[-]

lazypenguin86@reddit

I love mine, also had a shirt that had a little tree emblem with “Save a Tree” in tiny letters and the under it in Huge letters was “Eat a Beaver!”

[-]

QuicksandDance@reddit

There are real life photos of me wearing this in Cancun while Carson Daily and Jessica Simpson pretend to perform spring break

[-]

neuro_space_explorer@reddit

You must post these!

[-]

strippersandcocaine@reddit

Pics or it didn’t happen

[-]

emthewiser@reddit

My date and I wore these shirts to a dance. He turned his backwards for the pic so you could see the whole slogan 😂

[-]

SenorWeird@reddit

What I remember most about this commercial is Kevin West going "Same to you, buddy!"

[-]

HamsGamsandYams@reddit

This t-shirt is the first gift I ever bought a man. I was a college freshman dating a senior and he loved it.

[-]

RobF15@reddit

I wore this to a Baltimore Orioles game back when the commercial was still airing. A group of kids stopped me to take a photo with me, front then back.

[-]

DinnerSilver@reddit

This was genius marketing at the time.

[-]

Whatscheiser@reddit

This shirt is the most durable product I have ever owned. I can still wear it. You can hardly read what it says anymore, but the damn thing just never developed any holes or wore through. Which is kind of amazing since I'm lucky if I can get a t-shirt that lasts longer than a year these days.

[-]

PossibleMechanic89@reddit

I have it. Got it from teepublic.

[-]

Ok-Criticism6874@reddit

This guy went to my high school

[-]

jackfaire@reddit

Lol this reminds me of the Sofa King Cool t-shirt I had. I wore it to the office all the time on Casual Fridays. One day my boss looks at it and goes "you're always wearing that what does it...oh...oh (starts laughing)....don't wear that again"

[-]

elonmusktheturd22@reddit

I got detention for yelling "up yours too buddy" like the commercial when i saw someone wear this shirt in high school.

[-]

FoppyRETURNS@reddit

MY BROTHER HAD THIS SHIRT!!!

[-]

ssssobtaostobs@reddit

The cool thing about the internet is that you can look up the shit that your parents wouldn't let you have on eBay, buy it and have it delivered to your house within a week.

It blows my mind how accessible random shit is now.

[-]

Professional-Ad-8150@reddit

I had “Take 7 / Up Yours” from Hot Topic

[-]

Anyone else remember that ~3-week period where Orlando Jones was in everything?

I only saw one in the wild—in Fukuoka, Japan, on 9/11/2001. What a way to remember that day!

I was looking for one of those recently. You can still find them.

[-]

klsi832@reddit

My friend Billy has a seven inch wang. He used to use this line with girls.

[-]

UFOlaserbeam@reddit

Had the shirt. Wore the shirt. Had the shirt confiscated by a teacher in high school. Forced to wear another shirt.

[-]

Sight_Distance@reddit

I still have it, and it’s in my rotation.

[-]

enters_and_leaves@reddit

Mine is in the only wear on select occasions rotation. It’s starting to show its age and I am trying to preserve it for as long as I can.

[-]

scottyv99@reddit

I had this shirt.

[-]

Natural-Gur40@reddit

I have a picture of myself crawling through Nutty Putty Caves wearing that shirt.

[-]

MalapropRhetoric@reddit

My friends and I got these shirts at Spencer’s or Hot Topic early on. Then went to Cedar Point for a weekend and we got so many compliments on the shirts. We told everyone we worked for 7-Up and that is how we obtained the shirts. Still makes me laugh to this day.

[-]

Illystylez619@reddit

I met Orlando Jones when he was doing promo for a horror movie with actors who were twins. Really nice guy, really humble, super funny in person, he was really impressed by what we were doing and told us so. It was really sweet.

[-]

Lance_leaf@reddit

I'm just mad I don't have mine anymore. It was a real one too, got it from a 7up driver that was a friend.

[-]

wizardofmops@reddit

My ex’s brother had that shirt!!!

[-]

Emergency_Rush_4168@reddit

It was a stupid campaign even back then

[-]

western_style_hj@reddit

He was great in these. My favorite ad was when he said the trick to selling more 7-Up was putting vending machines in ”high traffic areas”. Smash cut to a semi obliterating a machine on the highway and Jones just looking like “well damn…”

[-]

DooleysInTheHouse@reddit

Bought one on my 8th grade class trip and wasn’t allowed to wear it. My parents were the ones who bought it lol

[-]

veringer@reddit

I bought this shirt at Mardi Gras in 1999.

Was easily the most popular shirt during my senior year Sadie Hawkins dance.

[-]

lakatos_intolerant@reddit

I will always prefer 7up to Sprite.

fannyalgerpack@reddit

I’m pretty sure a friend of mine got this shirt from the machine and had 50 cents taped to it to get another drink

I still have the cup from the theater when I saw either Gladiator or The Patriot.

Totally had this shirt back when I was like 16 and wore to my bands first concert. Back when I thought I was going to be famous. Yeah.........

[-]

Money-Mud912@reddit

I got sent to the principals office in like 11th grade for wearing this shirt. Made me turn it inside out. Ha!

[-]

cjbevins99@reddit

I was just telling my kids about this shirt. I had to wear a bulldog pride shirt over it when I wore it to school.

[-]

Paper-street-garage@reddit

I saw one at a flea market recently. I was really bummed it wasn’t my size.

[-]

senbenitoo@reddit

My best-bud had this tee & wore it to a music festival... he had to turn it inside out after a few hours because EVERYone thought they were the first to say, "No! Up YOURS!!"

Good times, man; good times...
