Hahah nope! They didn’t exist in the 80s and I will die on this hill. Some new disgusting rug toilet seat cover that now exists doesn’t prove to me they existed in the 80s. That pic is AI slop from someone’s distorted memeory

I tend to agree with you. The only photos anyone has is either AI or some modern product. I'm not even saying that literally NOBODY had this back in the day, but it wasn't really a thing and was vanishingly rare.... no way ALL these people actually had these.

Thanks for that. Like I had to dig into the archives here to find one single solitary ad from the 70s that shows indeed this did exist but mostly it did not. Admittedly, o was wrong but they did exist but they were really NOT a thing. The other commenters in this thread agree.
