I've never seen ANY of these! Were these ads more regional? Maybe they did'nt make much of an impression on me, but they are pretty entertaining!

...here's an interesting tie-in between Mazola Corn Oil and General Mills' Gold Medal Flour, circa 1959; very amusing live-action General Mills Kix ad, 1960 (that was the year they adapted the "Big G" as their trademark, with the boxtop logo on their cereals); Art Linkletter, who recently passed away at the age of 97, was always involved in one product endorsement or another during his long career as an emcee and "personality"- this is a 1972 ad (marketed by a company Art owned a piece of).

The MJB Coffee ad is from 1965; Mazola Margarine (another fine product of Best Foods) also from '65; the Coke ad, 1966; "Sugarcane 99", a Beech-Nut product (which wasn't on grocers' shelves too long), 1969; the animated Tetley ad, same period; Karo Imitation (!) Maple Syrup (a Corn Products {then, the parent company of Best Foods} brand, now marketed by ACH Food Companies), 1959; Niagara Starch (also from Best Foods, now from Phoenix Brands), with Allen Swift as the "forgetful father", 1959....
