Although their musical stylings are quite different, their endorsement deals are not. Paula had a soft drink deal and performed with Frank Sinatra in her soda ad. Christina had a deal with Coke. Paula was the frontwomen for a shoe company(Reebok I think?), much like Christina hawks Sketcher's today.
"Britney Spears's Curious perfume" = "Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth perfume"
Both were teenage pop music princesses. Each of these ladies were the top young female performers of their day, and each made loads of young kids smell good.
"DVD" = "VHS"
You can watch movies, but with more tecnology.
"Ashton Kutcher" = "Tom Cruise"
Both started dating older women, don't be surprised if our beloved Kelso starts dating Apple (Gwinneth Paltrow's baby) in few years!

Sucessful female groups. Not exactly the best comparison!

Some advantages of DirecTV over the large satellite dish, such as the Houston Tracker: 1. DirecTV dish is small enough to mount on the roof of your house. 2. You can surf DirecTV without having to rotate the dish and switching satellites. 3. DirecTV is a lot less likely to be struck by lightning than a large dish.
"Gummi Candies" = "Jelly Belly Beans"
"Minivan" = "Station Wagon"
As far as I can remember, the minivan was introduced sometime in the 80s. However, into at least the early 80s, the station wagon was still what it was all about in regards to family travel.

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders remain without a doubt the most popular group of young ladies in the world. And although the Hooters Restaurant chain started in 1983, the Hooters Girls didn't become famous until the 90s. In fact, the Hooters Girls would probably come in a close second to the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in popularity, above all those other famous cheerleading squads.
