“Berry on one side and cherry on the other.” (Eric Laneuville for Tic Tac, 1977)
“There’s only one Tic Tac. The original mouth whack.”
Our Daily 70s spot contains no innuendo whatsoever. It’s for Tic Tac breath mints and was part of their ‘mouth whack’ campaign. The actor at the end of the spot is Eric Laneuville of Room 222 and The White Shadow. Commercial aired in 1977.

The mouth whack is reminiscent of actor Fritz Feld, who usually played waiters. He was on a couple of episodes of “Lost in Space.” He would often bark out orders followed by a loud popping as he would slam his outstretched hand to his lips.
I remember Eric Laneuville most from “The Omega Man.” He meets a gruesome end at the hands of the plague victims.
Wow. Nice call on the mouth whack reference.
