Sloppy Joe by Libby's Commercial

When I was in elementary school in the 1960s, the days the school served Sloppy Joes for lunch were the most popular lunch days!! So popular that some kids had to spit in their sandwich to discourage the 'thug' kids from taking their lunch!! Really, I wouldn't kid about something like that!! I never had to spit in my food (as I had equal respect amongst the thugs and the nerds), but some kids on the brink of getting their lunch taken would say "I spat in it already", and they'd get left alone (or shaken down for remaining cash only)?? Hard to tell spit in a Sloppy Joe, cause it was 'sloppy'...
...Anyway, enjoy the commercial, these kids dancing in the kitchen and eating...

Love it! Cool tune

I remember buying the Sloppy Joe sauce in a can without the meat added. I used to throw a fit when Manwich came out and my mom or grandmom would buy that instead of Sloppy Joe.

Libby's was the taste of Sloppy Joe's I grew up with. Manwich is okay but the original served at family reunions, get together's, Sunday church lunches and funerals is what I remember !!!

Originally seen in 1966. Thomas Scott Cadden (who wrote the famous "Mr. Clean" jingle) wrote this one......

Actually, I'd buy this product if I saw it on the shelves..maybe I'd be a better dancer!

Ground beef (or pork) in a can. I do love sloppy joe's, but only if it is made from fresh ground beef as it is today. But I never danced while eating a sloppy joe...well maybe once when I was drunk at a party.

I wonder how many people this commercial drove to suicide.
