@amin1950 I had vague but fond memories of these adds, but never new they had such famous talent. They didn't really taste like fountain shakes; maybe "Fake Shakes" would have been a more honest name. But all the maltodextrin, vegetable protein, monoglycerides or whatever else they put in these things made them good in their own way; I still remember the vanilla version and would love to see it come back, along with Borden "Frosted", Nutrament and Parmalat "ShakeAShake".
According to lazur1 below, this has both Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page on it . . . just can't picture Beck hawking a powdered milk shake mix. Don't hate me, but I preferred Borden's milk shakes in a can. Actually, it was cheaper and better (no chunks) if you used a commercially available syrup and milk to make your shakes.

Great Shakes! I still have my Great Shakes cup! Carried it through all these years and it only cracked in the last 5 years.
I'm on the Hunt for another!
