I remember seeing ads for this back in the day.

It is so much worse than I imagined.

Same here, but there’s something to be said for an advertisement that you remember clearly for 41 years ha:

The ad in itself probably has no practical value. The surprising nature of its staying power is curious. And curiosity is a strong signal. Good luck.

I do too. I was an Atari guy so it was even more of a vague curiosity at the time.
