Aldi Foods (Partial Commercial, 1980?)

Views: 2709

Here's an incomplete commercial (missing first 10 seconds I believe) for Aldi Foods (we also called it Aldi's) but I include it here because it has some neat shots of Chicago-suburbs bungelow-style houses. Parts of it almost look like it could have been on my block back about 30 years ago.

Featuring actress Margaret Travolta as the wife, and actor Robert J. ("Bob") Jones as the husband.

Notes: Margaret Travolta is the Sister of Actor John Travolta and has appear...

Here's another Burger King commercial with future film star Elisabeth Shue, in which she explains that, according to a poll, flame-broiling beats frying by a 3-to-1 ratio - and Burger King does the former.

(Other Burger King commercials with Ms. Shue can be found here and here.)

She can butter my burger any day.

Views: 1115

Here's something pretty rare - some footage from WFLD Channel 32's Movie for a Saturday Afternoon featuring the Kaiser-era 32 logo, so this must have dated to at least early 1977 (Previous to this we only had a tiny excerpt of this bumper). Most of it was taped over unfortunately, but this is what remains. This last segment, with complete commercial break and ending sequence, includes:
