@kerranghighvoltage - I remember the 70s as a teen then. Inspite of the economic downturn, people generally seemed to be better mannered, flying on an airliner was often a big gala event for some people often dressing up for it. Political correctness was non-existent. Kids in many schools recited the pledge and sang the star spangled banner. Litter, air pollution, & urban decay was worsening in the major cities. Still, imho, better than today.
Hey, does anyone remember the mid-70s version of this commercial where people were walking around with HUGE 4 or 5 foot long Wrigley Spearmint Gum packs? (obviously props, of course) I thought that was one of their coolest commercials. It was around 1974-75 when it aired.
Man, I'd love to see the one where a workman (Plumber? City street worker?) comes up from some stairs onto a city sidewalk. He has the giant pack of gum under his arm, stops at the top, and sorta bends back and sticks his fat stomach out. As a little kid, I'd crack up my older brother by imitating him.
can somebody find the "let's pick a pack" commercial for Juicy Fruit that aired either during or after the Kentucky Derby on May 4, 1974? (I remember watching the KD with my mom that Saturday, and being really sick that day, and crying over not being able to attend a wedding I had looked forward to going to.)
@DontForgetToJog LOL Next time I go out forget buying a girl a drink, I'll bring out some packets of gum

@smokes2468 wow. I guess back then all you needed was a piece of gum. How times have changed.!

me too! i.e. office workers toting their humongous packs around a downtown business district.

Still looking for one of the "Carry the Big Fresh Flavor" Wrigley's ads which came out about two or three years after this one!
