The last post of the year brings a batch of New Year’s Eve-related commercials – and a Rolaids spot to help you through tomorrow’s post-celebration stomach ache. First up, a Canada Dry mixers spot from 1972. Following that, it’s Rolaids, New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 1980, and André champagne.

I hope everyone has a relaxing, enjoyable New Year’s Eve and a wonderful 2022. Thanks for coming along for the ride. See you next year.
