“Not cream pie…Dream Pie!”

It’s EIGHTIES Week this time around and I’ve got another double-dose of vintage commercials lined up for you! In order, we have Jell-O and Dream Whip’s Dream Pie, Wrigley’s Spearmint Gum, RCA’s “Advanced Remote Control,” Fruit & Fibre cereal (with Kenneth Kimmins), Polident (with Martha Raye), the ’82 Ford EXP, Wonder Bread, and finally, Parker Bros’ Razzle board game.

Take a time traveling trip back to 1981 and enjoy the ancient sales techniques. I’ll see ya next time when we return to the Seventies.
