Consumer Time Capsule
This channel is a celebration of consumer goods. Here's what to expect:
- Food/drink reviews - A breakdown of what's new at grocery stores. Unlike other reviewers, our primary goal is to provide historical context for current products and assign each a "Gimmick Grade," evaluating their concept. Taste is also scored and when we cover multiple products/flavors at once, we rank them in a "Capsule Countdown." To date, we've covered nearly 2,000 items.
- 80s/90s commercials - An archive of over 800 hand-picked ads, each with its own thorough description. Presented with no watermarks or lead-in/lead-out screens, so sit back and enjoy without unpleasant distractions.
- Full-Length VHS Tapes & Features - Obscure recordings that range from employee training videos to strange product promotions to whatever else fits. These include the Crystal Pepsi employee training video and the "Milkcap Krazy" video about pogs.
Comment often and we might send a Christmas card to your house! Seriously.
