It’s time for a 1980s flashback!
This promotional shot, taken in August 1989, shows some teens having fun with a robot that used to entertain guests at Epcot.
What’s the gal in the red so excited about? Is the robot telling her a hilarious joke? Demonstrating futuristic teeth-whitening techniques? Or is this hug just plain out of this world?
You tell us. Go ahead and “Caption This”!
