You can’t make this stuff up, folks

“Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don’t.”

Here’s a fun pair of candy commercials. The first spot, for Peter Paul’s Almond Joy and Mounds candy bars, aired in January of 1977 and was produced in ’76. You’ll certainly remember this one and its sing-a-long jingle.

The second spot, for Trident Sugarless Mints, aired in March of 1978. I had forgotten about this product but it brought back memories of how sugar-free products flooded the market in the late 70s. These artificial sugar substitutes were supposed to be a healthier option and help keep you thin.
