  • I remember "Take Tea and See" from my childhood, and I was born in 1952. So, it must be from the late 50s. It's funny how a simple catchphrase can stay with you throughout life. An effective ad campaign.

  • @lakewalker11 a lot better than the in-your-face, shove-down-your-throat sound bytes we get today..i prefer being talked to - not yelled at........

  • @disabled1955 I agree. Today commercials are deliberately made annoying, so they 'stick in your head'. But here's an example of a very pleasant ad still remembered 50 years later.

  • @lakewalker11 hard to believe its been that many years!!..it gets worse: The Flintstones - 51 years ago!, and I Love Lucy - 60!!!

  • Funny, people never gave thought to the possibility that the commercial for Hamm's Beer was aimed at underage drinkers, by way of the animation.

  • Rex Marshall, one of the doyens of pitchmen.

    

  • @lakewalker11 Waaaaaaahoo! Another one of my favorite jingles. I heard (and sang) it during the late 1950's myself.

    (Uh-uh, I won't tell when I was born, LOLOLOLOLOL, but hope you have a Merry Christmas).

  • @lakewalker11 I love the "Take Tea and See" commercial. It was so different from other commercials -- very simple and minimal, with great music. And it was really effective -- I can't see that commercial without wanting to run to the kitchen and brew some tea (I'm going right now!)

  • As a ten year old in the late 70s, I was fascinated by the origins of TV commercials. But since you couldn't exactly go on line to see them, you had to wait until Saturday to head over to the Museum Of Broadcasting on 53rd street and wait on line for 90 minutes to get an hour of Betamax time with which I'd hand over my rapt attention to an hour long tape that included much of this very file. It's still a riveting time piece.

  • the raid killed a praying mantis! =O they're endangered (and awesome). oh well. thx 4 uploading these. :3
