WFLD Channel 32 - Tic Tac Dough - "Screwy Voiceover" (Bumper Promo, 1980)

Views: 3412

Here's a bumper promo for Tic Tac Dough on WFLD Channel 32. The Jim Barton voiceover started late and so we get to hear more of the background Field Communications music than usual.

They also screwed up because Tic Tac Dough wasn't next, Joker's Wild was. (with no Newscene update)

Mercifully, they then cut the whole thing off.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Monday, October 27th 1980 at 7:30pm.

Hostess Snacks - "Win a Solid Gold Twinkie!" (Commercial, 1981)

Views: 2214

Here's another vintage commercial for Hostess Snacks - Twinkies, Fruit Pies (with real filling!) (and real saturated fat!), and Cup Cakes - featuring a contest to win a $50,000 Solid Gold Twinkie cake. Wow, I wonder if the person who won it still has it. Gold has gone up I think, so I wonder how much it would be worth now.

(this commercial is a shortened version of one I already posted)

Grapes - The Natural Snack [Monster] (Commercial, 1979)

Views: 1196

Here's a commercial for grapes, featuring a "snack monster" holding various sugar-coated foods (chocolate cakes with white frosting, ice cream cones, chocolate bars) and asking a little girl what's in grapes (no chocolate coverings, frosting, or preservatives), and finally venturing that "there's a game in here." A reference to the holiday season is mentioned at the end of this spot.

Is there an exact Alice in Wonderland reference in here that I'm not getting? Or is it...
