“Double your pleasure with Doublemint gum.”

Here’s a batch of forgotten advertising excitement from the year 1979. Our star feature is a commercial for Wrigley’s Doublemint Gum (with Ike Eisenmann).

That one quickly loses its flavor, so you’ll want to follow it up with spots for Playtex bras & girdles (with Jane Russell), Ford Explorer pickups, and Fresca. Wow!
