Remember when "innovation" was novel computer architecture or a totally new product category and not "a social network for pictures... that disappear!"?

Pepperidge farm remembers.

Remember

"No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."

I think Pepperidge farm remembering past innovations as more glorious than current day innovations is not a new phenomenon.

If that's a genuine question, it's a meme based on a family guy segment.

If that's a genuine answer, the Family Guy segment is based on a long-running advertising campaign by the Pepperidge Farms brand of baked goods. I guess I'm old.

A running gag from the animated TV show family guy.
