“Chocolatey, crispy KitKat.”
Time for some fresh, mid-Seventies commercial action. To start us off, a spot for KitKat featuring a pair of big cats. This “unexpected lions” theme ran for a good few years.
Following on from that wafer-filled goodness, we have commercials for Datsun wagons, Charlie’s Angels Hideaway House toy, and Stouffer’s Crepes. So fancy!

I grew up with 3 sisters in the 1970s and somehow never saw the Angels Hideaway House until today–thanks BD! Meanwhile, missing the days when Stouffers meant good food, and I’d love to get my hands on one of those awesome orange Datsun wagons!
We definitely had the orange Stouffer’s boxes in the freezer growing up. =)
