“Changing the taste of America.”

Back to the Seventies today and it’s 1976 at the ‘Disco. Our star attraction is a jingle-led commercial for Diet Pepsi. Our guest stars are Kinney Shoes, Zenith “Zoom Remote” TVs (and actor Peter Hansen), and a Fisher-Price toy offer from Crest Toothpaste.

I hope they bring you 49-year-old summertime happy vibes. Roll ’em.
