Back when commercials were cool and not pushing agendas

As a kid in the '80s, I was part of their target demographic..Thought they were neat but I was already into other toy lines...I do remember not understanding what the connection was between talking fast and their products...Were you supposed to act all hyper when you played with them or something?

It was just a gimmick

He was actually a history teacher at a high school in California. The Micro Machines thing was just a side job.

Not sure. Just sentimental value and my kids enjoy them.

John Moschitta is his name. Here's the Fed Ex commercial that made him famous. LINK

Back then... Federal Express. When I see this thread, I went back to his fed Express commercials... Not micro machines

My nephew spends a lot of time at my parents house. He’s found at least four micro machines that were lost probably 30 years ago.
