I remember watching the show Room 222 and loving it. Oh, do I wish I still had my spirograph. It would be worth a lot of money. Golly do I miss those days.
He used to buy the Kelloggs Variety pack too. My sister and I always ate the Corn Flakes Corn Pops and Frosted Flakes and Rice Krispies. The Special K was always my moms choice. I bought the Blueberry Special K and liked them. I usually eat Corn Flakes and Rice Krispies with bananas.
I’m convinced that the reason men’s voices were sultry deep in all these ads from my past. Was the smoking. A very distinctive masculine voice indeed. I smoked for 35 years. I’m 84 now and still have my smokers voice from 40 years ago when I quit.
@ My grandfather lived till 100. His father 104. (Both never smoked). My father and father in law both died from heart attacks in their 50s (Both heavy smokers). My mother died at 61 and a sister at 65 from lung cancer from smoking. That’s when I finally decided to stop. Mind you, I had tried several times before without success. But each time I tried, it got easier, until I finally stopped for good. Don’t miss them at all. Wish I had never started. It’s nice to breath again and wake up without a brain fog and hunting down for that nasty cigarette. Be well.

Advertisers didn't want to offend their Southern distributors [who didn't want their products to be associated with black performers]. Nat *did* have one (alternate) sponsor during his 1956-'57 15 minute series: Carter Products {Arrid Deodorant, Rise Shave Cream}. It was the half-hour edition the network couldn't "sell" to any sponsors. After a summer of "sustained" telecasts, the network offered the show on a "co-op" basis- that is, local stations inserted their own clients' commercials. In New York, for example, Nat was sponsored by Rhinegold Beer. But NBC was impatient to sell Nat's half-hour to a national sponsor as soon as possible. They informed him they intended to move him in January 1958 to an early time slot on Saturdays [7pm(et)], where they didn't schedule any national program at all. "Cowboy time!", Carlos Gastel, Nat's agent, sneered, insisting he be placed at a better hour. NBC insisted that was the *ONLY* time they had available for Cole, "take it or leave it". Nat decided he'd "leave it", and signed off in December 1957. He later claimed, "Madison Avenue is afraid of the dark".......and was bitter about the whole experience for the rest of his life.
@@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427my African American family used to eat Argo Starch when we had no food in the house. Do anyone else in this chat remember doing that.
My father never bought Chunky peanut butter. I like it but every time I ate it it would upset my stomach. Unlike Smooth the year Jif Peanut Butter was tecalled I bought Skippy. I loved it. It tastes as good as Jif. All my dad ysed to biy when we were little was Peter Pan. I can't stand that anymore. Its too thick and has a weird taste. Jif and Skippy have a Roasted Peanut taste.
Few if no blacks in commercials. Now every commercial needs to have a black person. you think we live in a black nation and they are the majority today. Commercials, TV shows, music, general entertainment all stink today as compared with the 1960s.
The lady pointing out, it’s what’s up front that counts. The innuendos!😂😂😂

I had one of those dog toys the little boy had. I used to think.Contac was tiny candies.
Nothing better than the commercial jingles of the 60s.
Nothing better than living the 60s, I know I enjoy it and miss it very much.
The days of when dog food had horsemeat & racist pancake mix. 😅
Us kids always smoked Winston’s because that’s what our parents smoked!😂

My father would never buy the variety packs, too expensive buying cereal that way. Only in big boxes
@@rascal211your dad was cheap. I bet he would've found money for his girlfriend.
Shame they don't make multi-packs of cereal anymore. 🥣

What made you stop smoking.. Clogged Arteries made me stop. I did enjoy them after a meal.. on the toilet and after sex.

How do you eat starch?
You use Niagara on clothes to make them soft- and wrinkle creases out of them with an iron.

Back when all shampoo bottles were glass - and broke in the shower in a million pieces when they dropped.
Never heard of veto roll on deodorant
Never heard of Floruient air freshener, either?
Colgate-Palmolive offered both of them in the late '50s and early '60s.

Why'd they call the Pall Malls Pell Mell?
Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be pronounced but we’ve been doing it wrong all these years lol
@bozomofo1342 the spelling tells me otherwise
They certainly loved to push cigarettes in those days on TV. ☠️
It was a different time. Smoking was socially acceptable, and it took several generations before the dangers of smoking became evident.
"THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW" was sponsored on alternate weeks by P. Lorillard Tobacco [Kent, Newport] from 1962 through 1966.
