70s Commercials: Honeycomb, Western Electric, Mr. Magnet Man, Colt 45 (1970)

Were lounging around in 1970 for this installment of vintage commercials. Our star attraction is a spot for Honeycomb cereal with a free metal license plate offer. Check out that cool looking biker gang. What a bunch of terrors.

Following that, you’ll find spots for Western Electric, Romper Room’s Mr. Magnet Man toy, and a long version of a Colt 45 spot starring Billy Van. I posted a shorter, 30: second version nine years back. Gee, I’ve been doing this for a while now.
