“Plop, plop! Fizz, fizz! Oh what a relief it is.”
Here’s a fine collection of commercials from 1978. First up, one of the best spots I’ve had the pleasure to post: Sammy Davis, Jr. for Alka-Seltzer. It doesn’t get more gloriously Seventies than this.
Following that classic, and in honor of the upcoming evening, a CBS promo for It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Lastly, spots for Hershey’s Hot Cocoa Mix and Chrysler LeBaron. Enjoy the trip to ’78.
