“Sometimes you feel like a nut. Sometimes you don’t.”

Happy December!I hope everyone in the US had a nice, relaxing Thanksgiving and is enjoying the long weekend. Today, we’re stepping off the time machine into 1977 for a collection of advertisements.

First up, a classic Peter Paul sing-a-long candy commercial for Almond Joy and Mounds. Following that, spots for the Mercury Zephyr, GM Parts with mascot Mr. Goodwrench, and Vicks Sinex. While you enjoy those, I’m going to drag out the Christmas lights and start putting those up out around the front porch. Wish me luck.
