Rowsdower70 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Given my long-running love of this tasty product, it's not surprising I'd look it up and find one of its root commercial from the early 70s, where my other addiction - Television - was starting to kick in and dropped me into this conceptually-pleasing candy formula, much like the accidental alchemy in this output: These were great!

Rowsdower70 Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 This vid was hard to find. It mostly stuck with me because of the product name.

Rowsdower70 Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 True story, back in the late 70s, Mario used to be a beat cop until he got strung out on Doritos.

dauber Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 BTW, folks...I have to both recommend and NOT recommend visiting fuzzymemories.tv. I recommend it because it's a treasure trove of stuff like that (heavily Chicago-focused, mind you), and I DON'T recommend it because you'll easily kill your entire day just watching videos. BTW2...not so much a commercial, but something that WAS played during commercial breaks in the late '70s during kids' afternoon programming -- definitely here in Chicago (they were made in Chicago) but I think other markets had them -- a thing called "Snipets" [sic], basically very short educational films lasting maybe a minute or two. The one that they played incessantly was a film that showed you how to make a "Come Back Here!," which was a modified coffee can that you'd roll across the floor and eventually it would come to a stop and then suddenly roll back to you. Seriously, they played the living snot out of that one...and the head-scratcher is that people have located every Snipets film....EXCEPT THAT ONE!! I do remember one commercial that was aired during kids' afternoon programming in the late '70s...but I don't remember what it was advertising...but I do remember at the very end there was this hideous looking head with a smiley face, possibly made out of papier-mâché...I just couldn't look at it. I remember every time the commercial came on, I'd say to myself, "okay, this time I'll look....NO, I CAN'T!!!!" Justin 1 Quote Supernatural, perhaps...baloney, perhaps not.
