Not only was the commercial great, their orange soda was the best ever. When I went to the fridge, it was always a toss-up between Nesbitt's orange and grape Nehi.
@iammrmat They still make it! Some bottling company out of Texas bought the brand and is producing it. If your hard up for it you can find it at some Bevmos
Wow... I haven't seen this commercial for over 30 years! I used to drink this when I was a kid, but I remember they also had a grape flavored soda. I guess you can't get this east of the Mississippi river though. I was in Missouri then, Ohio now... People here have never heard of it. "Nesbitt's Orange... Soda... >Pop!< Dumb...!"
I wonder if there is any place online where you can find the Nesbitt's Orange radio commercials, especially the one where the grouchy boss is auditioning musicians for a radio spot where the final auditor is "a box of five thousand singing fleas". Hilarious!
Our family was on vacation one summer and my brothers and I were singing various commercial jingles in the back seat to pass the time. We were right in the middle of our rendition of "Nesbitt's orange soda pop...wonderfully orangey orangely good..." when out of nowhere a car smashed into us on a very rural highway. We were still "singing" the Nesbitt's jingle as we waited for the tow truck.
one of my most favorite commercials, ever! The product disappeared, but this commercial stayed burned onto my brain for years! now that you've posted it on youtube, I think WOW! Very trippy, and very crumb-esque! I don't think Robert Crumb would have made this commercial. he's like me in thinking that corporations and commercials that hawk their products are evil! or maybe not, I dunno! This is a very cool commercial though! where in the world did you find it?
Wow! I have had an old cassette audio recording of this commercial when I saw it on TV but had no way to record the video back then. I always thought it was such a cool commercial and enjoyed drinking the soda, and finding this video brings back the memories. Thanks for posting it!
this was one of my favorite commercials when I was a kid! I was amazed when I first saw it on here! where did you find it? does anyone know if they still make nesbitt's orange? at the very least I wouldn't mind collecting one of their old bottles. thank you for this colorful piece of commercial nostalgia! It does look a lot like art from zap comix. did they have anything to do with it? thanks again!
This was my family's favorite commercial in the 70s. It got us to drink Nesbitt's wonderful Orange Soda Pop (when we could find it!) They had cool looking glass bottles, too.
Wow!Haven't seen this in decades. A "Peter Max" type mind trip in 58 seconds. Ranks up there with the 7Up uncola butterfly lady commercial. Psychodelic Nostalgia!
I remember this ad very, very well, my friends and I used to sing it a lot! Now I can tell the younger non-believers to just check here for the proof! Thanks for making my day!
Um, no. If it were R. Crumb it would be filled with thick thighed chicks with bangs and braids with one floppy breast mysteriously dangling outside of their dress - not to mention the obligatory fish-eye-lensed view of people walking looking up at them from the sidewalk. In other words, Crumb is cool and so is this.
Nesbitt's Orange Soda is a Southern state based soft drink, are they made by the same company that makes Frostie Root Beer (If only there was a vintage 1970's Frostie Root Beer TV commercial posted on YouTube if someone finds and uploads it!)
Some of the background music in this commercial sounds like the rhythm used for the HBO Family preschool children's series "A Little Curious".
One word.... DUMB!
LOL

At 0:13 you see the kid stuck inside the bottle... that's just the creepiest thing, scare the hell out of me as a kid.

I've actually seen this being sold at a place called Cost Plus World Market. Not sure if it's the original or someone bought the name.
