Haven't seen this since the 60's. The gum was pretty good.
The vocal group singing it sounds like The Tokens (of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" fame). As a group the were all over radio and TV in the 60's doing commercials. Even though they only had one top 10 hit, you heard them on top 40 radio almost every day selling something or another
Nice commercial. I dig the music. Very reminiscent of the Beatles and the Beach Boys. I just wish we had 60s-80s era commercials on the tube today, because most of the 2000s commercials, except for the anti-meth ads, SUCK!
does anyone have the radio version of the Adams Sour Orange Gum commercial that started out "there's a man named Adams..Old Man Adams.."
