“It’s a giant of a meal.”

Sixties Week is back! This hearty double-post features an old timey commercial for Sandy’s Big Scot Burger. Apparently, McDonald’s “borrowed” the Big Scot idea for their wickedly successful Big Mac.

After that bit of fast food history, take in spots for Quisp Cereal (with VO provided by Daws Butler, William Conrad, and Paul Frees), Thermo King Auto Air Conditioners, Pepto-Bismol, Adolph’s Tenderizer, Playtex Bras (with a young Bernadette Peters), Head & Shoulders, and Dial Soap. Dig it!
