Tickle your fancy
“Staying drier is nicer – with a little Tickle.”
A pair of commercials to help keep you dry today. One for Tickle deodorant from April of 1977. And one from the previous year for Ban Roll-On. Try them on below.

The Hungry Dodger
“The second helping of meat is already in.”
Back to our regularly-scheduled commercials today. First up, a spot I particularly like as it features my hometown team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, for Swanson Hungry-Man TV dinners.
Second, a spot for Brown ‘N Serve Sausage. Both commercials aired in November of 1978.

There’s probably a clever joke to made here about Partridges and pear trees – but I’m feeling lazy

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

‘Big pictures in color or black and white…’

Another fine Polaroid holiday commercial today. This one aired in November of 1973 and shows off the 400, Colorpack, and Square Shooter 2 Land Cameras.

“Take André home for the holidays.”
Here’s a commercial for André California Champagne & Cold Duck that aired exactly 44 years ago, on December 22, 1973.
André spots came around at the end of each year just prior to Christmas and New Year’s. This one really rings a pleasant bell for me – and I expect it will for many of you as well.
