“The sassy one!”

Greetings! Let’s get up-to-date with the month of May. Here’s a collection of vintage lookers spanning the first years of the decade; 1970 to 1973.

First up, it’s sassy time with Canada Dry’s Wink soda (starring Lara Parker). Following that, we have McDonald’s (with Shaft‘s Richard Roundtree), the G.I. Joe Adventure Team Headquarters toy, and Schick’s Flexamatic Shaver (with Olympian champ, Mark Spitz).
