Thanks to Dave Brodbeck for chiming in on the two-part epic that shall be Best Episode Ever's recollection of Star Trek: The Original Series.

We remember retro commericals like theme songs. Especially as the target audience for many of these ads, we were subjects to the catchy tunes and the memorable characters that were constructed solely to pitch us soft drinks as children.

From chocolate milk to "fruit" drinks to pop of all kinds, the commercials I watched while growing up are still stuck in my head.

with guest host John Meadows, host of the On The Log podcast.

Come gather around me. Space travelers surround me.
Hark now to the ballad of Rocket Robin Hood.
I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you,
with heroes and villains, the bad and the good. 
Watch now as our rockets race here from afar.
For now, with our Robin, we live on a star. 

Three. Two. One. Blast off! 

Band of brothers, marching together.
Heads held high in all kinds of weather. 
With fiery blasts, our roaring rockets rise,
beyond the Earth, beyond the skies! 
At the sight of Robin, take your stand,
with the gallant leader of our band. 
Send a joyous shout throughout the land!
For Rocket Robin Hood!
