  • love this commercial--been years!!!!

  • I sing this song everytime I see them in the store now after living in a part of the country that did not sell this brand. So, I explained the commercial to my daughter who got tired of me singing the song. I happened to search it here on youtube and it is just as crystal clear in my mind as I described it to my child. What an incredible joy to revisit the past! Yes, channel 5 and 11 were the best for us.Youtube is a blessing! My child sees I am not crazy or just imagining things!

  • This commercial is from 1972-1974. I remember seeing it all over afternoon TV back then.

  • OMG..I remember y'all from boro wide

  • Wow.... Just... Wow.

  • I sort of remember this being from the 70s. If it played in the 60s, I wouldnt have remembered it, was too young. My friends and I used to sing this.

  • This is a commercial i will never forget waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day!!!!!!!!!!

  • I never thought I would see this commercial again I loved it then and still love it now! thanks for posting :-)

  • I remember this song but I don't remember this commercial. Either DC TV stations played this in the early 70's & I just remembered the song or this was a song that as kids we sung without knowing where it came from.

    I'm glad I finally found this. I didn't find this when I looked before.

  • @iraqivetsgtret48 I saw this in nyc too as a KID... I was just telling my husband (last Sat) about Drakes Fruit Pies while we was in the Super Walmart...lo and behold I saw them and hollered! I bought BOTH!

    Now I see this...lol GOD IS GOOD!

  • I remember this commercial when I was a Teen ager...Oh the memories and it actually made me buy Drakes fruit Pies
