Spreads 36 more biscuits per pound. It’s a darn miracle!

“That’s a lot of good eatin’!”

Our theme today is eating in a ’77 style. To go along with that cobbled together idea we have a Kraft Miracle Margarine commercial from September of 1977.

Directly after that, you can enjoy a Hunt’s Tomato Paste spot featuring a visit to the Roman Colosseum. This one aired in May of ’77 but the copyright mark goes all the way back to 1974. They got some good mileage out of that paste. Have a wonderful Friday!

The Sanka doctor knows best!

“Maybe it’s the coffee you should be drinking.”

1976 time! Here’s a Sanka decaf coffee spot starring Robert Young of Marcus Welby, M.D. and Father Knows Best fame. He’s not a coffee drinker, but he plays one on TV. Or something. The commercial aired in October of 1976.

Next, another sing-along spot for Kawasaki motorcycles featuring a nudist colony, a bear, and the “Let the Good Times Roll” song. This one aired in January of ’76 (and therefore was likely produced in ’75).

“Dig the buttons!”

Another hip and happening spot for General Electric today featuring Sammy Davis Jr.. This one features the latest in digital clock radios and aired in November of 1974. Who knew Sammy was so into electronics design and research?

After that, a “hidden camera” commercial for Ultra Ban 5000 antiperspirant from earlier in the year (March of ’74).
