70s Commercials: Joy, Betty Crocker Cakes, Uncle Ben’s, Charmin (1970-73)

“Cleans to the shine…and that’s a nice reflection on you.”

Rewinding back to the top of the decade, we have four commercials circa 1970 to ’73. In the starter position, it’s Lemon Fresh Joy dishwashing liquid (with child actor Lisa Lucas).

Following that slice of life, we’ve got Betty Crocker cakes and frosting, Uncle Ben’s Quick Rice (with Ed McMahon), and Charmin bath tissue (with Dick Wilson, Bill Quinn, and what appears to be a young Jo Anne Worley). Enjoy heartily!
