Sounds like you're from the western MD area (Hagerstown-ish, or Washington County, at least). That's how it was for me growing up lol.

Did you get the commercials back in the 90's-00's? I'm not sure if they aired in Pittsburgh, but up in Erie it was a non-stop mashup of this song with the Daffins, "just 90 minutes away".

Freaking Erie and the jingles. When I visit my parents they watch the local news and they're still going strong! I guess to their credit, they do work if 20+ years later I bring it up.

Omg, yes! We had one at IUP mid 90’s. People would try to put their slip on top of the pile instead of underneath and an uproar would ensue. MTO’s we’re so much better then. Sigh.
