Our main attraction today is a weird and wonderful 1973 commercial for Fortrel Polyester starring Steve Martin and Howard Hesseman. There’s also a classic Chiffon margarine spot with Dena Dietrich as Mother Nature, as well as commercials for Campbell’s soup and Kellogg’s Special K cereal. Have at ’em.
