“Instead of potatoes.”

Hey there! It’s been too long since we’ve had fresh, old commercials here – what can I say? It was the holidays and I got sick last week with that nasty cold that’s going around – so let’s get down to it.

It’s a 1977-78 theme this time, so take in spots for Stove Top Stuffing, Parkay Margarine (with Hamilton Camp), Gillette Foamy shave cream (with Paul Sylvan), and the UR board game. I hope you enjoy!
