Let us spend a few not-so-quiet moments in the year 1978. We’ll start off with a bowl of C.W. Post cereal (Music Man-style with Johnny Haymer), then move on to Oldsmobile Diesel V8s, the Hamilton Beach Blender Plus, and P.V.M. diet powder (with Dick Van Patten). I believe you will enjoy this commercial interruption.
