“Crunchy, natural goodness in every bite.” (Spoon Size Shredded Wheat, 1972)
“What could be more natural?”
Here’s a healthy Daily 70s Spot for your Friday. A Nabisco Spoon Size Shredded Wheat cereal commercial. Spot aired in August of 1972.
We usually had a box of this in the cabinet when I was young, along with Raisin Bran and Cheerios. The cereal I really wanted; Lucky Charms, Cap’n Crunch, Trix, etc., had to be begged for and only went into the shopping basket about once every few weeks. I begrudgingly thank my mother for moderating my sugar-seeking fanaticism.
*Note: The spokesman in this Spoon Size spot is very familiar but my brain just can’t come up with a name. Any help would be appreciated.

He looks like Broderick Crawford from a distance, but the voice isn’t deep enough.
That’s a good guess. Thanks. After comparing them though, I’m still unsure.
