I have an early seventies commercial line-up for you today. We’ll start off with a fairy tale-like spot for Quaker Oatmeal and then catch ads for the Romper Room Talkabout toy, Cracker Barrel cheeses, and Zest. Are these time capsules really over 50-years-old now? They are – and so am I. Inconceivable!
