“Big Bubbles. No Troubles.”
Four classic commercials from 1979 are on display today. In the starting position, we have a spot for Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum (with Don Collier and Dub Taylor). Following that, there’s spots for Oscar Mayer Wieners, the Maytag Repairman (with Jesse White), and AMF sporting goods. Have a lovely trip down Memory Lane.

Great commercials BD, those Maytag and Oscar Meyer ads ran the month before I graduated high school, May 1979. Boy I can remember them like they were yesterday!
I well remember Jesse White as the Maytag Repairman. Not that I knew his name way back when.
