“Perks up any meal.”

Happy 2024! Coming in late, here’s the second half of Eighties Week. We’ve got vintage commercials for Chef Boyardee’s Complete Spaghetti Meal and Kal Kan cat food from 1980. You’ll also find 1981-era spots for Kraft Macaroni & Cheese and a CBS evening promo for The Waltons, Magnum P.I., and Knots Landing. The past looks so bright you gotta wear shades!
