What’s the over/under on this dropping before Friday? I’m in for a C note.

Exactly. I'm more than old enough to know about the Gallo wine commercial reference - which has been brought up here more than once over the years...

Wait a minute...Gallo?

I thought it was Paul Masson Champagne.

Maybe I didn't get the reference (entirely), after all.

I had the same confusion.

Originally I thought Gallo but did a search and initially saw Paul Masson... When Gallo was mentioned by someone else I looked and found references to Gallo as well.

Searching again (way too much time for a trivial comment!) I found a Wikipedia page about the ad campaign and it mentions only Masson.

My guitar is in the shop getting a set of BKPs installed, I will be ready for the CHUGGGA when it returns. I wonder if I'll think its the axe or the pickups that made the difference

What'd you get?? I just got my alnico Nailbombs put in my Les Paul, and they were born for the Axe, I'm in love with BKPs.

I believe you are correct. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orson_Welles_Paul_Masson_advertisements

There are a number of net references to it being Gallo, which shows how easily a tag can be confused.

A long, long time ago there was an ad campaign by Paul Masson that had the tag line "We will sell no wine before its time".

Speaking of '70s product references:
Do you remember a Kelloggs cereal called 'Concentrate' in a box about the same size as Cream of Wheat, with the little tin pour spout at the top of the side of the box?

I'll just leave this here...

Yep, THAT'S what I remembered. It was just the post claiming it was Gallo that had me doubting my memory.

I serviced the Gallo's house once when I worked for Clark pest control. I'm all about chugs and bugs!

I'm old, I remember that one! It's sad though as if I use that line now and then for a dad joke type thing, the younger folks have no idea what I'm talking about. Sigh.

Also in keeping with most forum members feelings about the next firmware update.

There is only one Heinz commercial. And it's automatic.

That was my point to begin with. Here's the age test, who's the kid in the commercial?

"Soon" defined in an ad campaign

Grew up with those commercials.
