Time Warp Memories
Classic 60's TV Commercials.
  The 1960's brings back fond memories for everyone who grew up during those happy days. Our Generation was the first Generation to grow up in front of a TV. Back then a picture was worth a thousand words. Advertiser knew this. Some used pictures instead of words to make some of the most amazing and beloved commercials of all time. Who could forget those classic Cracker Jack commercials?

Other Advertisers used humor and cartoons to get our attention and it worked. Today people still ask the same question that was first asked in 1970.
"How many licks does it take?"
We may not remember the commercial we saw 5 minutes ago but we still remember the words to Good & Plenty's Choo Choo Charlie.

One of my fondest memories growing up was using an entire box of Mr. Bubble in the bathtub. I can honestly say that it does not require an entire box to have fun in the tub, but it sure helps.
Here is my favorite Mr. Bubble commercial.
If all else failed to work Advertiser knew they could count on Celebrity endorsement like this one from Cheerios using Herman Munster.

Lets not forget to pay tribute to the Advertisers that used the product to speak for itself. The most well known of that bunch would be M&M's. Even today they are still King of self promotion. They have evolved from a simply product to icon celebrites. Some of the most memorable commercial icons were lost to TV because they were considered offensive to some ethnic groups. One of the biggest and most loved icons to fall prey to this was the Frito Bandito. After being found guilty by a jury of his peers he is now serving a life sentence away from the limelight.



Now for all of you Faygo Redpop drinkers, here is the commercial that made it famous.
Redpop please.


No matter how you slice it those early commercials were some of the most memorable of all time.
