We discuss shopping back when we were children and teens (Some of you listeners are children or teens now probably or from the BabyBoom. Welcome!) as opposed to shopping in the modern world.
We open up with this Tweet from Felicity @FlossAus: “I feel sorry for Netflix era kids. They will never know the high stakes adrenaline of running to the bathroom/fridge/ bedroom in a single ad break, with the beckoning call of a sibling screaming “i’s ONNNNNN” to send you hurdling over furniture to get back in time.”
