Does anyone else remember back in the days of VCR, the networks wanted to push a technology that disallows you from fast-forwarding through ad breaks on the stuff you recorded?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Does that last sentence make this comment an advertisement?

I guess, technically yes. Does that mean I have to specify that I am in no way endorsed by or representing Pepperidge Farms and that I cannot attest the quality of their products because they are not offered in my country (or at least I haven't seen them)? Is that The Way It's Meant To Be Played?

Is pepperidge farms a real product? I thought it was a Simpsons reference.

Now I hope they were the ones behind the meme.

They're like, a cookie company? If you've ever had a milano cookie thats them, pretty good usually.

It's a commercial bakery and "Pepperidge Farm remembers" is their slogan. Here is the old commercial that inspired the Family Guy cut-away.
