“A big improvement in taste.”
Pouring out tasty bowls of dog food today. In the first commercial, June Lockhart (Lassie, Lost In Space, Petticoat Junction) dishes out the Gravy Train. The spot aired in 1977.
After that, a commercial featuring a magical floating bag of Purina High Protein Dog Meal. Decent special effects for May 1977 (the month Star Wars debuted) in this one. I used to kind of like these spots as a smaller person. “Hey, look at that. She’s taking chunks out of that crazy bag!”
