“Don’t get MAD – get GLAD!”

Seeing as it’s mid-July, it’s high time I got some vintage commercials posted. Here’s an eclectic batch spanning 1972 to ’75. You’ll gasp in awe at Glad Sandwich Bags (with an early appearance by future Academy Award nominee James Cromwell), Aquafilter, the ’74 Subaru (with Edward Winter), and Close-Up Toothpaste.
