Spoiler alert: There is a great ad with George Burns on this. TY for sharing this. This has great ads. God Bless You & stay safe.

[@tholmes2169]

Le Seuer sure has changed hands a lot over the years. I didn’t realize they were part of Green Giant. Awhile back they were a General Mills product and now they are with B&G Foods. For a canned line of veggies they are the best.

[@luisreyes1963]

Glad they still make Carnation Instant Breakfast. Now why are some of the ads choppy?

[@jchow5966]

Thank you for this!!!!!!!! Great cultural history.

[@michaellinner7772]

I swear the guy who was speaking in the Rolaids commercial was the same guy who handed out the assignments on self destructive audio tape to the crew in Mission Impossible. He had the absolutely perfect voice for TV and commercials. It's too bad that no one told Jack Palance that he had died in 1970. It could have saved him from playing a dried out mummy for the next 20 years. The music from the Omega commercial was lifted straight from the original Star Trek. Accent MSG, it's not just for Chinese food anymore.

Cinnamon Dynamints were the best. They were like a tiny Atomic Fire Ball on your mouth😊

Many of these have more of a late 60s vibe. Still, fun to watch.

[@genefogarty5395]

Plant based meat substitutes like Morningstar were gross back then and they still are. I can see using tofu in stir fry to make the meat go further as it soaks in flavor really well. But nothing will replace meat, not on my table at least.

[@brianarbenz7206]

I've been eating a non-meat diet for 25 years and love it. I do eat some of the Morningstar Farms foods. I like 'em.

Yes, but the corporate merger mania that gave control over our food supply to 10 corporations resulted in HFCS and higher carbs. And the corporations building brand loyalty through these ads paved thew way. So that wasn't really before obesity. That was when the problem was rolled out.
