For me, in 1985:
Dairy Queen's "Blizzard" was introduced.
Back to the Future was one of the hottest movies.

shakin steak wrote :Yeah. Still hard to imagine that even this area would be a ghost town like Chernobyl had things really gone south. This report you've posted is happening while radiation is leaking out. They didn't even know it. Things were really bad, and everyone was being told it was just fine. That's what is scary.
