Too bad they no longer make Cryst-O-Mint Life Savers anymore, they were my late father's favorite. I myself prefer Wild Cherry Life Savers.

Very Peter Max. God, I remember stuff like this. No wonder the old-sters at that time felt so threatened by the changes around them.

Why I love the 50's and 60's better than most of the stuff on now.

This ad was created during the period {yes, this was 1966} when everyone got caught up in "pop art"- especially those works by Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Peter Max, celebrating old comic book art, advertising icons {Warhol's famous rendition of a "Campbell's Tomato Soup" can}, and the like...and when the "hot sound" of Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass {faux mariachi band, with two trumpets out front}. Put them together, and you got this....I'm quite sure this was originally seen in color.

@fromthesidelines Yeah,....the copy I got of the "Batman" episode (a DVD-R) was missing the colour of the original broadcast. One of the commercials even had fake tinted colour added to recreate what it originally looked like.
