70s Commercials: Tumblin Weebles, Diet Pepsi, Mazda GLC, Sunbeam Ranch Bread (1978)

“Tumble and wobble all around!”

Good day, time-trippers. We’re back to the usual Seventies era with this post and 1978 is our precise destination.

This quartet of old timey advertisements starts of with the Tumblin Weebles Fun House and flips and rolls its way to Diet Pepsi, the Mazda GLC Hatchback (with James Houghton), and Sunbeam Ranch Bread. Have a late Seventies look-see.

  1. Thanks BD–none of these rang a bell with me which I find surprising, as I was 17 in 1978. Sure do miss the days of those cute little economy cars though!

    • I remember the products, of course, and some of the campaigns, but I don’t remember any of those spots specifically either.
      Actually, maybe the Weebles spot – but lots of those looked pretty similar.
