Circa 1960s Circus Peanuts Unboxing!

This is a vacuum sealed box of Circus brand peanuts that I picked up at an estate sale. I'm guessing these date to the 1960s, mostly because at the same sale I also picked up a record of Circus Nuts radio spots that's dated 1963. Obviously the people worked for either Circus Nuts or the ad agency. Anyway, I wanted to see how well the nuts fared in their time capsule, so I decided to make an unboxing video. After the unboxing, you get to hear most of the radio spots that are on the record. Yes, I had alot of time on my hands today. Oh yeah, the music is something I wrote for the Fern St. Circus, a community circus that I used to be the music director of in the early 90s. PS i forgot to squeeze the package.

"One handed unboxing" is the most exciting version of unboxing if you ask me.

Those peanuts look better than most of the ones you buy now.

My partner and I created those commercials in 1966 or '67. Truth is, we simply watched Mel Brooks and Dick Cavett do their inprov magic. They gave us hours of material and we edited a half dozen 30-second spots. The stuff that never made the air was just as funny.

Fresh as a daisy! And almost 50 years old! Wasn't Don Draper trying to snag the agency account for this on "Mad Men"?

I remember the commercial "Circus Nuts The Freshest Nuts in Town"
