Sorry, I have no clue. If you can find out, you have great researching skills.

I love the way the female in this couple

turns her head toward the viewers when they

sound the line '...please buy our corn flakes'.

@jtbrown17 And don't forget the clucking pig! Come check out my playlists (including commercials) for every year since 1900 - it' s a musical time machine. chuck

I remember this commercial being shown during Green Acres, If you play it backwards it says Arnolds dead.

Wow, this brings back memories! The rough animation has shades of Jay Ward's work, but probably not. Never tried GM's corn flakes, but sure liked the ad! Thanks for posting.

it definitely sounds like "they're made from porn"

@1913massacre Yes they are. Apparently, the original version didn't "crunch" enough, so they added rice.

This song has been in my head for 50 years and I still can't get enough of it!

@Starfoxteam1 I notice that! Was it made with rice and corn? My whole family used to love watching this commerical! We laughed so hard!
