Ludens for the win. Eat those when not sick too!
elphaba00@reddit
When I was going to get my senior pictures taken, my mom said that my breath was awful. She didn't have breath mints, but she handed me a Halls cough drop.
JiGoD@reddit
The burn is how you know it's working!
I used to hate those

100% Ai. No way my TV was that clear.
Moxie_Stardust@reddit
Pretty sure Campbell's never had so many noodles either.
anniemdi@reddit
I think I saw a How It's Made (or maybe Unwrapped) that said a very specific amount like 212 or something. Now I gotta go figure this out...
Moxie_Stardust@reddit
Been a while since I watched How It's Made, I should do some of that this weekend. Very soothing, yet informational.
NewPhoneWhoDys@reddit
What is that circular ghost haunting the chair??
desertdweller2011@reddit
also that ludens box is wayyy too big. they were way smaller than that
Dicky_Penisburg@reddit
I also don't recall Bob giving away a penny-farthing trike.
no_more_mistake@reddit
I'd bet the prompt said something about a 'big wheel'
wrestlegirl@reddit
The enormous box of Luden's didn't give it away? It'd be like deepthroating a can of soup!
maggie320@reddit
This made me laugh harder than it should. I could just see Holly riding out on that.
brawndoenjoyer@reddit
Yeah, no ash tray was a dead giveaway
PacketFiend@reddit
The steam gives it away too, that and the weird semi-see-through hula hoop thing.
rifunseeker@reddit
Campbells also didn’t have the pop open cans when we were young. Can opener needed all the way.
StellarSloth@reddit
It should have some kind of glare on the screen and would be super grainy.
Onionbot3000@reddit
Bob was also dying his hair in the 80s. Watching old reruns is pretty entertaining and cringe lol
noonesaidityet@reddit
My grandma would be at our house the minute she heard I was sick with saltines and an opened glass bottle of flat 7up. Every single time. I miss that cranky woman.
59apache01@reddit
My grandparents were Formula 44 fans. My mother was a Robitussin aficionado.
I don't know which one was worse.
elphaba00@reddit
Health Services at my college had a huge vat of Robitussin. That was their answer for everything.

***YOU’RE
FOR FUCKS SAKE ITS NOT HARD

Needs some Grape "I'm not sure if it's actually medicine, but I do enjoy drinking it" Dimetapp.
cheekynihlist@reddit
Or the nasty yellow Triaminic. 🤮
elphaba00@reddit
Orange Triaminic was where it was at
SorrentoTaft@reddit
And it is 7Up not Sprite. And the 7Up had to be damn near flat.
Cmd3055@reddit
We weren’t allowed to watch tv. If we were too sick for school we were too sick to watch tv.
Outrageous_Low6506@reddit
Thank you! I always feel so left out in these posts.
GarblingCumfarts@reddit
Damn bro fuck your parents lol
midwesternmayhem@reddit
If we were sick, my mom made us quarantine in our bedrooms so we wouldn't infect anybody else. We weren't allowed to have TVs in our rooms, so it was either read a book or sleep.
ThickSourGod@reddit
If this is AI, I want to know the prompt. I don't really play around with AI, so I might be away off base, but I would expect any prompt referencing the 80s to generate more neon and less period-accurate brown.
AbbreviationsGlad833@reddit
My mom would put coca cola in a shrimp cocktail glass and stir it to get all the carbonation out and I would have to sip it with a tea spoon. I dont know why. But I feel this was a remedy to settle the stomach that was passed down from my family way back to the Victorian era.
cyberdude419@reddit
Don’t forget to get your pet’s spayed and neutered everybody!
alias007@reddit
Where's the big ass humidifier?
Kalinoz@reddit
AI slop trying to show me what I experienced in the 80s is kinda shitty.
Wolfspider_79@reddit
Not my grandparents house I was all alone
BoredPandemicPanda@reddit
Where's that delicious pink medicine?
TravelingMatt34@reddit
Oh man, I used to get constant ear infections as a kid and this picture just make my physically repulse
TheWildTofuHunter@reddit
Oh my god, same!! I had the tubes and amoxicillin and everything. 😆
Alien_Talents@reddit
I can still taste it
Junior_Article_3244@reddit
I can still feel my itchy hives, I'm allergic to it apparently.

No glass ashtray with 3 weeks of smoked cigarettes with lipstick on them? Fake af
Dazzling-Skin-308@reddit
Don't remember the Luddens.
The rest definitely tracks - especially chicken noodle soup and sprite.
DatGretchen@reddit
In Germany we had way different furniture (ikea and pine or everything oak, there was no other way) and the drink was coke, not sprite the food was pretzel sticks and hardtack. The show was the same though. Our presenter Peter Bond was iconic too.
Granny_Goodness@reddit
AI garbage.
Smurfblossom@reddit
It's missing the roll of toilet paper.
here4dambivalence@reddit
That's weird, when I'd get sick I always got codeine syrup that'd mysteriously disappear quicker than I recall ever taking it. Although AI, the chair does look like some shit one of my grandmothers definitely owned.
2reeEyedG@reddit
This is pretty spot on
lakatos_intolerant@reddit
I do not miss that awful furniture or wood paneling. People truly had horrible taste back then.
WithoutCaution@reddit
Swap that soup for a Totino's pizza, and this was 100% my sick days at grandma's house! When I magically felt better by mid-afternoon, she'd take me to the local skatepark, which was pretty awesome.
Koalashart1@reddit
Where are the puppet people
PacketFiend@reddit
Get this AI shit off this sub.
crapatthethriftstore@reddit
This was on right after Bob
OmegaRainicorn@reddit
It was always The Young and the Restless or the Bold and the Beautiful for me.
maggie320@reddit
Lucky. We had the local news.

Rule 8... check the Vanna White plaid recliner ghost
Ineedavodka2019@reddit
Vernors. Not Canada Dry.
Chain-Slinger@reddit
Idk about anyone else but our crackers were in squares of four, not individual like they are nowadays.
ezio8133@reddit
Don't forget the Soaps
NoDreamNoSleep@reddit
Gen x and boomers LOOOOVE AI slop.
amodsr@reddit
Yall got food when sick? My mom always said that eating would make me more sick so I never got fed anything. (Yes, I know my parents sucked as parents and that this is literal child abuse)
Jonestown_Juice@reddit
This sub is turning into Facebook.
FnordRanger_5@reddit
Oh you guys had nice parents?
Being sick was met with punishment, saltines and Canada Dry only. If you wanted anything else you obviously weren’t that sick.
AceUnderTheHole@reddit
I don't get the hate for AI images. It makes the point.
Mysterious_Fennel459@reddit
My grandma had that kind of couch in her basement.
notedrive@reddit
Where is the puke can?
StillhasaWiiU@reddit
AI don't know that the table needs a half full ash trey in the middle to be complete
Alien_Talents@reddit
FOR REAL
AccountOfMyDarkside@reddit
Ony dad's weekends, I was always givien 7up when I was sick but typically wasn't allowed sodas. I still get a bit excited when I see one. Kind of a pavlovian response, I guess. One good thing about My mom was that she didn't give a shit what I ate or drank or did. One bad thing about my mom was that she didn't give a shit what I ate drink or did. Loved it then, for the most part, but, in retrospect, I think it might've caused just a touch of psychological damage.
I was born in '77. Sometimes I identify more with Gen X and sometimes with Xennials. Neglect was a solid GenX problem for a few of us, from what I understand. Lol
HopelessMagic@reddit
My parents had that exact sofa set. Once I rocked back and forth on the rocker so hard, I flipped it and busted my arm up. After I was told I couldn't be on the rocker anymore, I jumped up and down on their bed, tripped and busted my nose on their footboard.
Good times. 😂
knosmo78@reddit
At least it got the brown right.
wrel_@reddit
Slop
StrongAsMeat@reddit
Those pop cans are the modern ones, they wouldn’t have been that far
myuserhasafirstname@reddit
Go back to Facebook with your AI slop.
Knickholeass@reddit
To this day I still don't like ginger ale cause it reminds me of being sick as a kid.
SingingElevators@reddit
To this day I cannot drink Ginger Ale because every time I got very sick my Mom would make me drink it and now it makes me extremely nauseous.
Hot_Frosty0807@reddit
It was Vernor's in Michigan
Dizno311@reddit
There is an appropriate level of brown in that living room.
JonnyQuest1981@reddit
And who plates saltines? You leave them in the sleeve!
Inevitable-Rush-2752@reddit
Where’s the sauce pan that never got used for food and lived in the very back of the kitchen? Yall know what I’m talking about. 🤢
piscian19@reddit
When I skipped school kid stuff was pretty much over except gummy bears, david the gnome, super market sweep and designing women.

AI sucks.

Barker's hair is the wrong colour in this clanker slop.
rjcpl@reddit
Did have a cold a couple weeks ago. Brought up some classic Price is Right and it’s still an effective treatment.
Avertr@reddit
Not correct labels either
Educational-Tie00@reddit
Clanker trash

Mine would just be a single cup of theraflu that takes me the entire day to work up the courage to finish

Why are we putting AI images on this sub?
