Welcome back. Let’s take a TV walk through the year 1974. On display, we’ve got commercials for St. Joseph Aspirin for Children, Campbell’s Chunky Soup, Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia, and Simmons BeautyRest Mattresses (with Meredith MacRae).
I remember being given St. Joseph Aspirin when I was a kid. I had forgotten it was orange flavor but that memory came right back upon viewing.
