“Peek Freans are a very serious cookie.”
Peek Freans? I had never heard of such a thing before coming across this commercial. I don’t think we had access to these treats growing up in California in the Seventies.
The spot below aired in February of 1979 and is kind of fun and also a little bit strange. What with the funky name and miniature children and all. Have a look.
