“Yipes! Stripes!”

It’s Sixties Week here at the ‘Disco, and I’ve got a hearty batch of commercials from 1968 and ’69 for you. Our star is a wonderful animated spot for Beech-Nut Gum featuring the voices of John Fiedler and Bob McFadden. This one aired in 1969 but I’ve been told it may date back to ’65.

Following that masterpiece of advertising, you’ll take in spots for Kodak’s Instamatic Movie Camera, Rexall Drug Stores (with Louis Nye), Hunt’s Catsup, Here’s Lucy, Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries Cereal, Swiss Colony Bali Hai Wine, and All Detergent (with Bill Hinnant). Roll ’em!
