In the “Better Late Than Never Department” – we have Friday’s set of seventies commercials. This hearty, edible batch keeps a focus on 1976. You’ll find spots for Nacho Cheese Doritos (with long-running representative Avery Schreiber), Arthur Treacher’s Fish & Chips (with George Dzundza), Pillsbury Wiener Wrap (with Adam Rich & Moosie Drier), and Cheerios.
How about that “free inside” Cheerios Tricky Tracer toy? I had one, and if memory serves, it didn’t quite work as advertised. It was too flimsy to draw a steady line. Oh well, you get what you pay for I suppose. Roll ’em!
