This time around on Ancient Advertising Adventures you’ll find an assortment of early seventies commercials. Start off with Romper Room’s Sherlock toy from 1974 and move on to a Chuck Wagon spot with the famed animated wagon from ’73. Following that, pour out a bowl of Fortified Oat Flakes and mash up the empty box in a Kenmore trash compactor. It deodorizes!
Have a great weekend and I’ll see you back here on Monday.
