the good old days

I find that I prefer toy advertisements from “back in the day” over modern ones. Less stupid electronic rock music in the background while you blow up trains.

My brother had model trains while he was growing up, but none of those missile-shooting kind. His just went in a circle. Then he became a policy wonk when he grew up, not a jet pilot (and I’m sure there’s some sort of metaphor for “going in circles” versus “launching missiles” in there somewhere).
