No, the expression "good gravy" was around long before. The commercial picked up on the expression. But what I would like to see is their first gravy commercial when it came out in about 1961/62. I still remember that adolescent with the big funny S--t eating grin on his face as he pours himself some gravy during family dinner with the song in the background. I still think it's funny.
@medwardb1976 I don't remember that commercial from the early 60's. I'd say it was before my time... but that isn't QUITE true. However, I was small at the time. I was only 3 years old.
Campbell Soup Company marketed Franco-American canned gravy, and spaghetti (including SpaghettiOs, which they introduced in 1965)- several years ago, they phased out the Franco-American brand, and continue to produce them under their own name.
Thanks for clearing that up. I always thought that Franco-American was its own company, and that Campbell's, (like so many corporates), had bought them out... but according to this info... they owned them all along. Thanks... I did not know this.
Um...giblet gravy? I'll take the dry, parched roast by itself, thank you. I think there's a reason you don't see giblet gravy in grocery stores anymore.
Yeah, I know why you don't see giblet gravy any longer. I got sick as a dog on it a few years back, and it was home-made gravy. Ended up missing time at work 'cause I couldn't quit tossing up giblets. Yes, they should take the giblets and use them as pot hole patch.
This ad first appeared in early 1966.

Wonder if the expression, "Good gravy!" came from this commercial?

@gsnfan Now that's a great question... kinda like the chicken or the egg question.

I'm old enough to remember this jingle...
