Those weren't from the '90s? Am I so old that I'm now conflating these decades?
Yes, and I'm sorry. I'm also right there with you.

Joke's on you, my wife is the one with fourteen prescriptions

Yup, you're right. I was actually pulling up to people in traffic and asking them this in '92. Because I thought it was hilarious.
It still is, but it used to be, too

They were in both decades. And well into the 00’s.
