I work at a vintage icecream shop where the owner has been collecting and displaying old artifacts and popular items from many different timeframes, the most popular being the coca cola pieces. He has one of the coke carts just like in the first commercial sitting right in his shop across from the icecream counter.

Most of these are from the early-to-mid 1950s: Band-Aid Super Stick @1954, Gillette @1956, Sunbeam Bread @1953-1957, Camel Cigarettes @1950-1951 (although this "Doctors Love Smoking" campaign began on radio and print in 1946), Keds @1958, RCA Victor @1954, Hasbro Mr/Mrs Potato Head @1953.

This was before they came out with the version of the toy that included a plastic brown head with holes in it.

Both of them had just returned that afternoon from working the New York to Chicago run for the past thirty days. and they'd gotten drunk and shared a hooker before the bout.

He always told this same joke every Christmas, and oddly it always signified, without fail, that he was about to finally shut up and pass out for a few hours.

Right, and what else is unique about these commercials? 100% white people. Almost like a homogeneous white society yields more trust than a "diverse" society...
"Junior hasn't got energy enough for fun." Good thing he ate that bread so he could finally get off that bench walk 2 steps and sit on the plastic horse
Well, they used to add proteins and vitamins to bread. The commercial wanted to show that you’ll get energy from eating it. If this was a real life situation, I’d assume Junior is horrid lazy.
Many people below a certain age don't realize that Mr PotatoHead didn't have a plastic potato included, or that radio was a bigger medium than television.
Khalil's MIX PLATE Nah that’s false, back then you cared more to sell the item get a viewers eye, they wanted to impress them, they would lie all the time. Now and days you have to be specific on your commercials because there is competition. You have to be better do better, prove you’re better. And if someone finds something wrong with your product, well down goes sales. Stop hating on today’s times all the time.
@@leahbee9072 I m just talking about commercials Contents not product quality it's self If we compare product quality tht also not better as old ones even offer by the same co and the same product originality going obsolete . Marketing term if you have a guts to sell, you can sell your wastes as well.
Khalil's MIX PLATE if so then you must compare them to so much alike. They always used woman to model the sales, always good looking. You would never see a butter face on there. And I disagree on the product sells being better... but that’s just because back then they didn’t have labels of ingredients and shit like that on anything
I was born in 1945 and grew up in the 50's . I remember these commercials so well. Great being a kid and growing up back then. Everything was new and exciting ! I loved my MR. POTATO HEAD and my DOCTOR KIT !We always had "Sunbeam" bread in the house. I remember getting my first Transistor portable radio once for my birthday. Mine was a Zenith. All chrome front with an imitation leather case. It was so cool ! The cigarette commercials were all over TV. Little did we know how we were lied to. My gym shoes were always KEDS. There was no NIKE back then ! It sure was great growing up as a kid back then ! I loved every minute of it ! Now, I look back after just turning 78 and feel so fortunate !
That is funny but enriched bread was pretty important, especially due to rationing during and after the war. www.chicagomag.com/city-life/March-2014/How-Wonder-Bread-Became-the-Healthand-then-the-Ill-Healthof-the-State/
With that band-aid commercial I love how the “slow motion” was just them doing it slower instead of playing the original one slower 😂idk why I find it so funny
As far as I know, my philosophy teacher told me that when he did Gillette, the owner put the prices high and promised a good product. People complained and the founder of Gillette lowered the prices, the quality and said 'you won't pay for one product at a time with a good quality that will last you a very long time, but instead, you'll pay me for the rest of your life in small amounts to change the blades that are not as qualitative as they were intially'. Now I don't know if this is 100% true but my teacher was a pretty clever guy who enjoyed reading a hella lot.
I’m 55 and when I was 9 my father worked for a Aggregates producer in Izoro Texas and on Saturdays I’d go to work with him at the crusher and he’d have me sit up on an old steel tractor seat and every time he’d push up a load of stone to the feeder I’d open the gate to start feeding that old crusher and he’d give me 50 cents which I looked at as dollars and there was an old console type coke machine so I’d drop a dime in the slot and slide the bar over and pull my ice cold big red up out of there 5 times a day and let me tell you I was ten foot tall and bullet proof because by God I was building America and my dad sure gotta kick outta me . We were dirt floor poor but I thought things were swell 😆 lol
Nah, my mom was a little kid back in the 50's. She's 71 now and healthy as ever; so the kids pictured here are most likely still alive and in their 80's (I'm getting up there in the years myself. I'm 47, with two kids of my own). The years go by so quickly. 😉 Cheers!
I'm so accustomed to seeing "Mr. Potatohead" coming with his own plastic potato, that it never occurred to me that the original toy would have been meant to be put on an ACTUAL potato. Wow, the original looks so much more whimsical!
Pain tolerance has gone way down since the 50's. You used to have to rip band aids off quickly to minimize the pain of removal. They would leave a nice red patch where the band aid used to be. Now days kids/people would pass out from such an experience. Modern band aids remove themselves.
Well most toys sell for $10-20 currently and $1 in the 50s is equivalent to $10-20 (I'm not exactly sure the exact amount). So really, it's not all that different.
@@christelheadington1136 The standard term is bandages or "adhesive bandages". Band-Aid is just one such company that makes them. The Band-Aid brand eventually became the most popular brand of adhesive bandage. Therefore people started to just call them "Band-Aids" or "bandaids" even if they were made by a different company. It's just like how people refer to facial tissues as "Kleenex". Kleenex is just one of the companies that make facial tissues. But because it was so popular of a brand, it became the term people use to refer to facial tissues of other brands as well. The upside of this is that the company gets more advertising as people will always be using their name. The downside is that if the name becomes too common place then the companies lose their trademark because you cannot trademark a common term.

@@northmeister Seems they were smarter because, like us, they recognized likeliness of cancer outside of smoking? Lmao mate I think all the weed when you were 11 melted yer brain. That or the meth addiction
In those type of machines, in the 1960's you put a dime in the slot. Then you navigated your 8 oz bottle of coke through a labyrinth until at the end was sort of a valve. You pulled the bottle up through the valve.
My father had one of those Coke coolers in his donut shop. You actually just take the drink out of the cooler and pay for it at the counter. But, in this case, the man is the owner of the grocery store. The beginning of the commercial shows the store name, S.J. Tompkins & Son, and the girl calls him Mr. Tompkins. :)

altareggo yeah you’re only suppose to drink it after you play sports or workout. But no people just be buying big bottles and drink it without doing no type of physical activity. They need to realize how much sugar is in that.
"Red Ball" sneakers was IT in my days. In the days of the Original "Mr. Potato Head" YOU supplied the potato. It was much later when a plastic potato head was included. I guess too many rotting vegetables had turned up in the toy chest?
Mr. Potato Head was a kitchen table toy. We were taught to throw the potatoes in the trash, clean the pieces, and put them away. Yes, we took out and put away our own toys ;)
It's funny to see how commercials back then were shot based mostly on utility (a strong band-aid, a sandwich that gives you energy, strong tissues that come out neatly from the box, shoes that makes you run faster) while nowadays commercials appeal more to emotion rather than... well, the product itself. You don't buy something because it is good, but mostly because it makes you FEEL good.
It's easier to grow a strong brand loyalty if you manage to get consumers to associate your brand with emotions rather than utility. If you base your product's image around high quality, for example by claiming it's the most protective paint or the most waterproof jacket, it'll be easy for others to just prove you wrong, but if you base its image around more objective and vague concepts such as emotions, for example by marketing your paint around nostalgia by saying it's the same paint your grandfather used to pain your broken toy, or your by saying your jacket radiates traditional masculine values, it's pretty much impossible to change that association in a consumer's mind, cause there's no way to really disprove your claims. Perfume brands have done it ever since they started since there's no way to really easily market a perfume by objective metrics, which has led to modern perfume ads being more like narrative short-films than actual ads.
Commercials have always sell emotions, whether you realize it or not, with this commercials the emotion they're selling you is security and trust, the one thing that changed is that now we are super aware of advertisement and it's intentions
its a psychological effect. the more they hear it the more they will be desired to buy it. so say with scotties, if they go to the store and need tissues they'll pick scotties because they've heard it so much. weird ik
lol, these commercials are not from the 1940s. more like the late at 50s and the early 60s. in 1946 less than 1% of American households owned a TV. TVs didn't become popular or affordable until the late 50s.
Nope. Almost all of them are from the 1950s. The Band-Aid super-stick feature didn't come out 'til the late '50s, and in the Camel cigarette ad, the car shown was a 1952 Pontiac. Also, the cartooning style of Mr Potato Head didn't develop until the late '50s. 1940s commercials were VERY primitive.
70 - 80 years from now people are going to marvel at the gecko with an English accent and Flo from Progressive along with T-Mobile commercials showing "archaic" cellphones.
Well, yes, guys, they would mold. However, it is far better for the environment to replace your potatoes every few weeks than to have them made of plastic. Plus, you can compost the potatoes. As a society we value permanence over anything else. Perfection is ugly. In many cultures, impermanence has meaning.

$1.29 for gillette razors! Even back then they were absurdly expensive.
As far as I know, my philosophy teacher told me that when he did Gillette, the owner put the prices high and promised a good product. People complained and the founder of Gillette lowered the prices, the quality and said 'you won't pay for one product at a time with a good quality that will last you a very long time, but instead, you'll pay me for the rest of your life in small amounts to change the blades that are not as qualitative as they were intially'. Now I don't know if this is 100% true but my teacher was a pretty clever guy who enjoyed reading a hella lot.

Pain tolerance has gone way down since the 50's. You used to have to rip band aids off quickly to minimize the pain of removal. They would leave a nice red patch where the band aid used to be. Now days kids/people would pass out from such an experience. Modern band aids remove themselves.

@@Kojow7 -Why would you not refer to a bandaid as a bandaid ?
@@christelheadington1136 The standard term is bandages or "adhesive bandages". Band-Aid is just one such company that makes them. The Band-Aid brand eventually became the most popular brand of adhesive bandage. Therefore people started to just call them "Band-Aids" or "bandaids" even if they were made by a different company. It's just like how people refer to facial tissues as "Kleenex". Kleenex is just one of the companies that make facial tissues. But because it was so popular of a brand, it became the term people use to refer to facial tissues of other brands as well. The upside of this is that the company gets more advertising as people will always be using their name. The downside is that if the name becomes too common place then the companies lose their trademark because you cannot trademark a common term.

It's funny to see how commercials back then were shot based mostly on utility (a strong band-aid, a sandwich that gives you energy, strong tissues that come out neatly from the box, shoes that makes you run faster) while nowadays commercials appeal more to emotion rather than... well, the product itself. You don't buy something because it is good, but mostly because it makes you FEEL good.
Good point.
Probably before credit cards existed
It's easier to grow a strong brand loyalty if you manage to get consumers to associate your brand with emotions rather than utility. If you base your product's image around high quality, for example by claiming it's the most protective paint or the most waterproof jacket, it'll be easy for others to just prove you wrong, but if you base its image around more objective and vague concepts such as emotions, for example by marketing your paint around nostalgia by saying it's the same paint your grandfather used to pain your broken toy, or your by saying your jacket radiates traditional masculine values, it's pretty much impossible to change that association in a consumer's mind, cause there's no way to really disprove your claims.
Perfume brands have done it ever since they started since there's no way to really easily market a perfume by objective metrics, which has led to modern perfume ads being more like narrative short-films than actual ads.

lol, these commercials are not from the 1940s.
more like the late at 50s and the early 60s.
in 1946 less than 1% of American households owned a TV.
TVs didn't become popular or affordable until the late 50s.
I would say the 50's. I remember 60's commercials quite well and most of these were not around in the 60's, lol.
Nope. Almost all of them are from the 1950s. The Band-Aid super-stick feature didn't come out 'til the late '50s, and in the Camel cigarette ad, the car shown was a 1952 Pontiac. Also, the cartooning style of Mr Potato Head didn't develop until the late '50s. 1940s commercials were VERY primitive.
I thought the same thing about televisions when I saw this vid pop up
That Tissue commercial really sounds 60s.
Actually, the Pontiac could be a '49.
70 - 80 years from now people are going to marvel at the gecko with an English accent and Flo from Progressive along with T-Mobile commercials showing "archaic" cellphones.
I never realized Mr Potato Head used to just send you pieces and you would use vegetables. That's... not a terrible idea lol.
Definitely more environmentally friendly
Depends on the vegetable used... not great to make kids play with moldy veggies
They changed it to plastic after complaints that the potatoes would rot and smell bad.
Until they mold
Well, yes, guys, they would mold. However, it is far better for the environment to replace your potatoes every few weeks than to have them made of plastic. Plus, you can compost the potatoes. As a society we value permanence over anything else. Perfection is ugly. In many cultures, impermanence has meaning.
