I have never seen this type of advertising at least in the years thst I lived there and watched tv on the regular basis from 1975 to 1989 . We didn’t have advertisements at all actually

I sort of get it tbh because in a pre-internet era it’d be really hard to prove these things *didn’t exist* vs just were hard to find or out of stock

Luffy Longbottom :
