Can you upload the TPIR commercials from the second, third, fourth, and fifth TPIR episodes from the first TPIR week in 1972?

I wish I could, but I don't have them. I don't know if anyone even has them.

What's amazing about these commercials is that all of the products mentioned are still sold today in retail stores.

[btn2271984]

Very true, never realized that until you mentioned it. Speaking of which, I just ate Munchos on my lunch break at work.

Great video! Thank God, not one of those commercials had that lady going in circles in that wheelchair or Wilford Brimley talking about "Diabeetus."

@HDMBS (part 4) Hellmann's was a brand of Best Foods, Incorporated (and was/is sold as Best Foods brand in the western U.S.), now a part of Unilever, the British based parent company of Lever Brothers. Pillsbury was acquired by General Mills. Finally, Pepto-Bismol was a division of Norwich Pharmaceuticals, now part of Proctor & Gamble. Just wanted to show that while you can still buy the products, in many cases the sellers have changed...sometimes dramatically.

@HDMBS (part 3) Hostess' parent, Continental Baking, was part of the conglomerate's conglomerate , ITT....part of a portfolio that included telephone companies, the Hartford Insurance Company, and the Sheraton hotel chain. When ITT decided to jettison anything that wasn't a core strength, it sold Continental to Interstate Bakers.

(see part 4)

@HDMBS (part 2) Tupperware was part of Dart Industries, the company that owned the Rexall drug store chain (also the division that made many of the products the stores sold). After selling off Rexall in the '70's, Dart merged with...yes, Kraft. They later divorced, and Dart renamed itself Premark International. They subsequently spun off the brand as the independent entity Tupperware Brands, which is still is today. (see part 3)

@HDMBS Nabisco sold its cereal line to General Foods, which put them it its Post division. General Foods was acquired by Kraft, who interestingly purchased Nabisco from its previous owner, R.J. Reynolds. Certs at the time was part of the American Chicle Company, then owned by Warner-Lambert. In the 90's its was renamed the Adams Company, then became part of Pfizer when it took over Warner-Lambert. Pfizer in turn sold Adams to Cadbury, which as of last year became part of,,,Kraft. (see part 2)

@btn2271984 I have them, but I have to get a working VCR set up to tell you.

[Asylumescapee69]

Does anyone remember a commercial from back in the late 80's where someone said "diabeetus makes me short with my wife" or something to that effect... I was a young kid but I've remembered that phrase for many years, and then I heard Family Guy make a reference to it with Walter Brimley saying it... I know it was during day time television because I didn't have control of the tv and mom always watched TPIR... thanks.

[BowserKod]

They just don't make commercials like these anymore...

[meterman432110]
