“Everything’s Archie!”

Hello, Bionic faithful! Thanks for hangin’ on while life and the day job have been keeping me overly-busy. Let me lay a double-post on you and welcome you to Sixties Week! A real grab bag of wonderment awaits.

From the ’65-’66 era we have commercials for Post Toasties Corn Flakes (with Gomer Pyle‘s Jim Nabors, Ronnie Schell, and Andy Griffith) and American Motors’ Rambler Rogue.

From 1968, you’ll find spots for Camay soap, Ultra Brite toothpaste (with “supermodel” Cheryl Tiegs), Wish-Bone dressing, and more Post Cereals, this time with an “Everything’s Archie” focus.

Finally, circa 1969, we have spots for Micrin mouthwash and the Mr. Potato Head toy. Have at ’em!
