Freedom, unlimited comfort food, and mullets: these are the things, at least according to this '90s Sizzler commercial, that define America. The ad, which served as promotional material for franchisees in 1991, declares: "Sizzler brings freedom to your life!" Showing some serious passion for the good ol' USA, the commercial features construction workers, sailors, and women in power suits eating at the chain's buffet. "It's a restaurant within a restaurant, with all the value, quality, and freedom of choice Americans want," says the corny narrator, citing the grill and buffet areas as "two completely different dining experiences." Do you agree that Sizzler is the "choice of America," or is this a little too patriotic for your taste? Let the electric drums and images of corn on the cob wash over you while you enjoy this retro advertising experience.
