A slightly depressing 1965 television commercial for Diet Delight Canned Fruit. Why this product existed, I don't know. This commercial is taken from a 29th September 1965 broadcast.
That was also the year General Foods introduced "D-Zerta", their "diet" version of "Jell-O"- sugar free and zero calories. People were starting to become "weight conscious" at that time, with all kinds of "fad diets" popping up (including the infamous "Drinking Man's Diet"), and Mead Johnson's famous "Metrecal" chocolate diet drink a popular favorite. I understand Diet Delight was quite good...
man the 60s looked dark, evil, and just down depressing.
