I hope those of you in the US had a good Thanksgiving. I certainly did. Our vegetarian t’rkey and all the trimmings went down a treat. Speaking of treats – here’s a collection of food-related commercials as we make our way through the festive season.

Firstly, two 1971 spots from Kraft featuring a variety of party snack products. Some of this will appeal, some of it…well, it won’t. Have a look.

Following Kraft, take in spots for Lipton Cup-a-Soup and Armour Golden Star Ham. See you next time.
