“Good morning food that tastes great!”

Hello, Bionic Friends. I hope your long Memorial Day Weekend has been a good one. Here’s some mid-Seventies commercials to assist with the relaxation.

Firstly, we have Tony the Tiger and family in a spot for Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes. You don’t see Tony’s family often, so I’m going to call this a rare one. Following that, grab a look at commercials for Dole Pineapple, the ’78 Mercury Bobcat (“Love the Bobcat!”), and Doan’s Pills.
