2. Sylvania Soft White Light Bulbs (Most frightening company mascot ever)
3. Crave Cat Food (Amazing jingle)

If it comes in Chocolate TWICE! that's 3 flavors!?!

[80sCommercialVault]

Chocolate and Chocolate Malt. They're two different flavors.

[WAEVOICE]

Am I hearing things, or was the lady in the Sun Light commercial named Dawn?! LOL

[80sCommercialVault]

"Darling"

[Libitina72]

I guess just adding Chow Mein Noodles to the salad makes it Oriental...LOL

I thought the Hallmark Commercial WAS the PSA about alcoholics..until I saw the end.

[mcguinnfan]

That's a particularly interesting mix. I was sure that the Hallmark ad was going to be one of those "know when to say when"-type PSAs. And no one had to tell those Starburst kids not to worry about looking ridiculous!

Once again, thank you for posting these. I'm enjoying them immensely.

@80sCommercialVault Light incarnate, lol.

[thebayareapimp]

the light bulb commercial reminds me of the 80s movie classic Poltergeist!

[MattTheSaiyan]

A cheesy commercial for....cheese. Brilliant, just brilliant.

[StormsongK]

Comedienne Rita Rudner in the Hallmark ad, using her trademark deadpan delivery.

That's Tia Carrere at the end of the cheese commercial.

Macdonals will toss your salad.

Love the chicken salad oriental. It's a chef's salad, covered with chicken... and chow mein noodles. The noodles made it "oriental". God I loved the 80's.
