“It cooks and fries anything at all.”

Greetings, one and all! It’s high time I updated the ‘Disco and rolled out some vintage commercials.

Today, we’re visiting with Joe Namath and “Mother Tums.” Our first spot finds Broadway Joe offering up some cooking options with the Fry-All Deep Fryer from Hamilton Beach. After that, an appearance by “Mother Tums,” a product mascot who didn’t quite catch on. Both spots aired in December of 1977.
