1970 7-11 Commercial

[rcktmanil]

FAR OUT!!!!

[ThePoopoo098]

For some unknown reason that video just gave me a raging erection. I kinda want to stick it in my parakeets ass. Is that normal?

[sybaris1]

yea hippy advert, works for me...........

[slipknot789able]

i dont remember 7 eleven back in the 70s because i am too young but i do remember 7 eleven through the mid 80s and early 90s i will never forget the big gulp and the slurpees and me saving my allowance so i could buy a big gulp or slurpee along with my hot dog it sucked when circle k came along and took over what a dumb name for a store 7 eleven sounds so much cooler

[TheLAKERSareGodsTeam]

Yet more reasons why I'm GLAD I wasn't alive in the late 60's/Early 70's. I would have been ethnic cleansing this country of hippies. GOD I hate hippies.

[CurtisHalfHalf]

@TheLAKERSareGodsTeam You would have been in Vietnam you asshole; getting shot at by Charlie..

[illustriouschin]

I don't think i could trust a Klingon Doctor.

[clarkbell]

Are we sure this was 1970? Seems more 1965-1967!

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@clarkbell

The 7-Eleven logo is definitely 1970s. It first appeared in 1968 to be exact.

[clarkbell]

@ClassicTVMan1981X Um, that would make it 1960s... just sayin

[JVY9000]

That brings back memories, I used to live near a 7- Eleven in Dallas. We used to have some here in Pensacola, Fl. Unfortuately, Circle K took over their stores, and now 7- Eleven can't serve this area anymore. I don't think that's fair, they were a lot better than Circle K will ever be.

[kstarpictures]

Wait, am I watching a 7-Eleven commercial or "The Now Explosion?"

[Htos1]

@kstarpictures

Wow!The Now Explosion!I loved those weekends and rockin' videos!Sadly,the entirety of the N.O. archives were destroyed in a flooded garage,in the mid 80's.

[Smolley28]

This is the greatest video on YouTube of the greatest commercial ever made.

[FleurPlaqueSoleil]

@Smolley28 Right on!!!!!!!!!!!

[Audioforge]

I remember those days. 7-11 was across the alley from my house. That's all I ate for 3 years, aspirin and embassy bread!

[brhmgrant]

this is funny ad thanks wookie cookie  good job

[BartelDoo]

Remember when you didn't need a passport to go to 7-11!

[a1cjlock]

Drinking a Slurpee way too fast is the reason why I have pains in my head! BRAIN FREEEZE!! XD

[NYKID10014]

@a1cjlock No slurpees in those @ 7 11 in those days, they were called ICEE

[suprdav2]

lol, bunch of friggin hippies!!

[ThatGuinea]

"And some Embassy bread"...yea that'll fix my problems...

[TheRonGordyShow]

OMG That's hilarious!

[lastarria10]

theres no 7 eleven comercial anymore

[jefferyb304]

I visited a store in Maben WV that just recently converted to a 7-11.

[fluffydolly]

american born people worked &owned them then.

[PrettyBrg]

lol I love this commercial!!

Nothing makes my headache go away like $50 aspirin and some 7-11 bread.

[fgldnglbs]

Dated ad, especially with the styles and Christian rock of the day("Put Your Hand in the Hand," "Are You Ready?" etc.). Some people must have thought that prescription was lame as a joke too.

Wawa is taking a big share of convenience in Metro Philly, since they "do it just a little bit better(slogan not in use but should be)."

In tight times, we have to see what we can get in the supermarket on sale and stick mostly to what's only available in the stores if we have to use them.

[zeakins]

I admit I love wawa and 7-11 but I prefer 7-11 more because they always have random shit here and there that wawa doesn't.

[jsilence418]

@zeakins WaWa has really good baked junk though!

[levo75]

Shut up Sean

[kroaky2]

LOL! That's awesome.

[bertskoi]

I remember the ad. They should re-use it, just morph/shop out the bread for a newer brand, I don't think they carry their own brand anymore. BTW I also love 7-11. And this commercial was on when I was 7 and my brother was 11, we used to joke about it. Thanks for posting it!

[skitzyLION]

The company has its origins in 1927 in Dallas, Texas, USA, when an employee of Southland Ice Company, Joe C. Thompson, started selling stuff. The original location was an improvised storefront at Southland Ice Company,Joe bought Southland Ice, which opened up in the Dallas area. Initially, these stores were open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., ..for more info go to wikipedia

[skitzyLION]

jeez.. and their logo has not changed after all these years.

[janglar]

There is no way I could exist if this place was never invented

[mooghammondb3]

Funny that the Logo hasn't changed at all in nearly forty years...good on them.

[Swassticles]

oh thank heaven

[CrzyFlmngMnkyHead]

This is the greatest commercial ever made.

[chaosvincentvalentin]

I agree Vaati. I agree wit you.

[vaati000]

God dammit, why can't they make Viagra commercials like this?

[longcatislong193]

EMBASSY BREAD

[Titan124]

I love the subliminal messages.

[Moegopher]

They don't make 'em like they used to.

[SageofCancer]

Aspirin AND bread, you retards. That will help. Don't question the doctor.

[jpwjr1199]

ROTFL!!!!

[casonetto]

Bread helps with headaches?! Sir, your lyrics are fraudulent!

[DARTHNECRION]

Strange things going down...

[nintendogsyo]

Is the Doctor supposed to be subliminal or something? This commercial is creepy.

[airsoftspain]

haha the doctor looks like dr. house !!

[casualtyarmy87]

yeah...this commercials freakin GAY!

[philsfan33]

i would like to punch the doctor in the frickin head!

[goriajk]

The doctor in the video looks alot like 'the voice of Baloo' on TaleSpin - and someone I knew - The late Ed Gilbert. Peace - JG

[PackedFunk]

Embassy bread??

[unconventionalmeans]

A pain in the head....Embassy bread.

Yeah.....sure.....okay....

What a stupid commercial!

[jdobbs2001]

lol man thats a super lame commercial.

[shorts]

there is only one 7-11 left in my city.. they've replaced them all with tiger expresses.

i didn't know 7-11 was so old.

[picrob2000]

In Colorado, you can't throw a stick without hitting one of these stores.

[jbn1971]

Missed this commercial by 1 year but I do remember 7-11 in the 70's in North Carolina. Then, they left and were replaced by Circle K. I did rediscover 7-11 when I moved to Virginia and they are on every corner where I live. Don't have to walk too far to get a Slurpee...or maybe some asprin and some Embassy bread, lol!

[eyeh8cbs]

7-11 got its name because they were originally open from 7 AM to 11 PM, and those were pretty unusual hours when they started.

[vespahunny89]

isnt it 24hours now?

[ProductionX]

There's a Ma & Pa-type shop near me that usually stays open from 8AM to 10PM a few blocks from my house. :-)

[PackedFunk]

Instead of 7-11, that's a 8-10!!

[nakamichiguy]

Campy stuff! Shot on video production, somewhat rare back then as it was easier (and maybe cheaper) to shoot and edit film.

[EdgarKritik]

Oh thank heaven it's over!!

[nibbick40]

I wonder if Embassy Bread was made by the same company that makes Velda Farms dairy products ... since the logos (with the exception of the color) at that time were identical.

[a1cjlock]

Only the cows know, but they do look exactly the same.

[Ecossaise]

Oh how groovy - 7-11 ! I had no idea they have been around for as long as I have been !

[peterproscia]

Groovy! I'm going to try the bread trick next time I have a headache.

[70s80s]

I had no idea 7-11 was older than *I* am!

[visor109]

A Laugh-In ripoff!

[PeterJB]

But still quite funky and a bit psychedelic.

[Dreamer2TV]

I'm not a disc jockey but I play one on the radio

[nidrian]

I doubt he's a real doctor.

[DNS67665]

What about a Super Big Gulp and a Pannini?

[cpowers94]

Aspirin and Embassy Bread?

I want a second opinion.
