“Gee, what a keen movie!” (Willy Wonka’s Candy Factory Kit commercial, 1971)

“Chocolate not included…”

A slight change of pace for today’s FF edition. Instead of a kid’s program from the 70s, we have a commercial that surely ran during a beloved children’s show before slipping into obscurity.

Here’s a very cool spot for Willy Wonka’s Candy Factory Kit narrated by Cap’n Crunch (Daws Butler). The Willy Wonka film released in the summer of 1971 and it looks like this commercial followed soon after. The visual quality isn’t the best, but it’s well worth a viewing. Happy Funshine Friday!
