From the ridiculous to the sublime. Thank God you won’t be suckered into buying a lot of these products, since many of them are no longer on the market. For the others, this is warning to enjoy the ads, but don’t buy the product — especially Rely Tampons which were pulled after killing many women with toxic shock syndrome. See notes at bottom.

Notes: We might change a few commercials here and there but this was the lineup the last time we showed it.
NEW EXHIBIT! The Monument of the 7th Dimension.
Our new exhibit is The Monument of the 7th Dimension. #TMot7D takes you to a place beyond the every day. In fact we our four dimensions past 3D and three dimensions past The 4D of the Matrix, and two dimensions past that great group of the 60s and 70s the Fifth Dimension. [No one cares about the 6th Dimension. BORING.]
After you navigate our labyrinthian portal which we have constructed out of everyday objects such as cardboard, duct tape, duck tape, zip ties, gold ingots, bar-b-que sauce, glue and macaroni (pre-cooked) you enter the golden anteroom and finally The monument of the 7th Dimension with its many stations for guidance into this transformative realm.
Please join us and you will never be the same again.
Your hand/eye coordination will be much improved in the 7th Dimension.
- People of the 7th Dimension are happy.
- Travel back in time to view our very first museum building and the great woolly ant.
