So smooth & creamy.
Hey there! Today, I’ve got a quartet of food commercials lined up for you. These spots aired 1975 through 1978. Our big star on display is a 4-year-old Peter Billingsley (at least, I’m pretty dang sure it’s him) from A Christmas Story.
*Note that Word Press propped a huge update that changed the entire way I build posts here, so I’ve had to reconfigure my thinking behind-the-scenes. If you notice anything looking wacky, it’s likely due to that and things should improve as I learn the new editing process.

I just made chicken & potatoes today, now I’m wishing I’d made that box of stuffing in my cupboard! (I think it has a “Best by 2012” date on it though, haha). I remember that commercial–and the Freshen Up Gum! You sure jog a lot of memories here 🙂
Sorry for the delayed response! That’s what the ‘Disco is for – heavy memory jogging. =)
