“Chocolatey, crispy, KitKat!”

It’s 1978 on-tap and I’ve got four commercials from the year (or thereabouts). Firstly, it’s Phil Leeds in a spot for KitKat. Following that, you’ll find vintage views for the Bell System (“Feelings!”), Trident Mints, and Pepto-Bismol (with Billy Martin, Lou Jacobi, and George Steinbrenner). Bite into ’em.
