There's no better time to hit rewind and revisit "The Rant," Molson Canadian's "I Am Canadian" ad campaign from the early 2000's - because nostalgia tastes as crisp as a cold one.

A look back at a #1990s GM Goodwrench commercial featuring some 'Shop Talk' with Don Seiferman, a mechanic at Ackerman Buick.  With GM Goodwrench shocks, Don could guarantee both the 'parts, and the labour.'

A throwback to the early #1990s with a commercial for French's Creamy Spread, a mild #mustard that offered 'the right taste for light foods.' Low in fat and cholesterol free, the product was condiment-ary to the Surgeon General's push for healthier eating habits at that time. #mayo #sandwich #vhs

Taking a flash-back (eh-hem) to the early 1990s with the intro to CBS's television series The Flash. John Wesley Shipp starred as Barry Allen and The Flash, and was joined by Amanda Pays and Alex Désert in this classic adaptation of the DC comic.

A look at the #1990s commercial for the new Finesse Conditioner #Perm Formula, designed specifically for permed hair so 'your curls always look perfect.'  Its 'self-adjusting formula' provided the right amount of conditioning - because 'sometimes you need a little, sometimes you need a lot.' #vhs
