“Treat your family like company.”

Hello, and welcome to a warm August. Let’s dial back the commercial time machine to the years 1972 through 1975. First up, a spot for Jell-O’s Soft Swirl dessert. This one features Denise Nickerson of Willy Wonka fame.

Following that delicious dish, enjoy ads for a Rockwell Drill, Tastykake and their not-frightening-at-all puppet mascot, and Sugar Twin.
