JOHN DENVER Raisin Bran TV commercial 1987

John Denver rarely "sold out" to corporate interests, but in this rare exception from 1987 he sings "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" for Post Raisin Bran. This must have been made only a short time before his untimely death. I miss John Denver, he seemed to be a genuinely happy guy.

@AlisoViejoMan Much easier for me to fold the top of the bag into a triangle, then fold that over and put a clothespin on it. I don't like the el-cheapo zip-seals on food bags. Half the time the plastic tears open while the zip-seal remains shut. Only the ones made by Ziploc are worth a darn. And no, I don't work for Ziploc.

I can't believe in 2011 most cereals don't come with a zip like packaging feature

John Denver died October 12, 1997, not 1987. The commercial is adorable! I love the "zip-a-dee-doo-dah" and all the kids hiding!

A great find! Thanks for posting this!!!
