1960s Green Giant TV commercial

Elves! Cool typefaces! A gigantic man painted green! It's advertising, 1960s-style!

At about one minute in--that's right ONE MINUTE into A 90-SECOND SPOT selling CANNED CORN--I make an appearance with a stuffed Green Giant doll. They did a lot of those character giveaways back in the day (remember Gary Coleman and his Hubert doll, fellow Chicagoans?).

I guess they sold a lot more canned corn back in the day, too.

"remember Rodney Allen Rippy and his Hubert doll, fellow Chicagoans?). "

Well...yeah...but that would be Gary Coleman with the Hubert Doll. Rodney was Jack in The Box.

@shaunlandrypersonal Gah! You're right. I'm doubly saddened now on this difficult day. RIP Gary Coleman.

@fyourcouchnigga

they produce GMO Genetically Altered Foods, Bleached of all Nutrition, Infinite shelf life

Sterilizes Humanity, Out Lawed in Australia, Mexico, parts of S.America and EUROPE

Account of GMO's it is predicted this next generation will be shortest lived generation of all

Bar Codes beginning with 8 on veggies dictates it is GMO, Monsanto is the culprit.

Poisoning natural staples via pollination. Via Round Up product.

All Fast Foods use GMO's all the worst foods on Earth

If this was made today, the giant, like Santa Claus, wouldn't be allowed to say Ho, Ho, Ho. Ha, Ha, Ha, Green Giant! It doesn't sound right. lol

lol...when he reached back into his rear and pulled out the long brown...well, anyway.. this immature moment was brought to you by Green Giant :-D

I'm a little older than most of you "kids." I recall hearing the Jolly Green Giant song on radio when it sponsored Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians. FYI - That was a choral group that sang traditional songs, Christmas etc. You could send in a label of a JGG can of peas, corn, etc. and get a Little Golden Record with the song recorded. And it played on 78rpm. Oh, do you know to make the JGG scream in pain...You grab him by the niblets.....Sorry. just couldn't resist.
