“Hello, sunshine! Hello, Mountain Dew!”

Progressing through the Seventies, we pause for station identification in 1976 and ’77. On tap, you’ll find commercials for the “new” soft drink Mountain Dew, a super cute 9-Lives cat food spot with mascot Morris and a litter of kittens, Trident sugarless gum, and Hunt’s Prima Salsa spaghetti sauce. Ready, set…go!
