This kid aged exactly how you think he did.

[@nassauguy48]

Yeah, he really is in rough shape.

[@XpapricaX]

Carrot top?

[@deborahchapman7882]

Yep! He sure did

[@SuperMoss15]

Too much deviled ham.

[@brinsonharris9816]

So did Robbie Rist. Cousin Oliver’s a beast now, but not as much as Mason.

[@frankrizzo4460]

Wow I remember this commercial and this kid he always sounded to me like he had a stuffy nose. 🤔

[@bimbobaggypants4820]

That was from his coke addiction.

[@Rotary_Phone]

"Wow, 4 meat sandwiches for under a dollar!"

[@ModMokkaMatti]

The Underwood devil scared me as a child. My parents used to keep tins of it in the pantry but as far as I know, we never consumed it. Maybe Mom did, in secret.

[@trudygreer2491]

You don't remember all those "meat sandwiches" with relish, mayo, and pineapple?! 😉

[@AldoSchmedack]

lol

[@phettywappharmaceuticalsll8842]

Bruh me too! 😂

[@fodsaks]

They had that poor kid shilling for everything.

Mason Reese a golden gem of the 1970s

[@SuperMoss15]

Now he needs to HIT the gym.

[@kingporter67]

I always loved to eat Underwood deviled ham, this is a great deviled ham commercial back in 1974!!

[@Diyemmanuwel]

I hear His voice like Bart Simpson

[@Thomas-yr9ln]

Mason Reese networth is 1.5 million. A lot more than I have but it's not really that much considering all the years he has been a actor. But I am sure the next 20 years he will have a comfortable old age compared to a lot of us.

[@nassauguy48]

Child actors were so taken advantage of back then.

[@tron3entertainment]

Mason Reese was everywhere. A meme in his own time.

[@119Agent]

Look at Mason complaining about inflation in 1974. He could still get 4 meat sandwiches under a dollar.

[@ITOOWASONCEYOURGODSFAVORITE666]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@d.a.elliottjr.367]

They've never solved the problem of inflation. We still have it 50 years later. It's caused mostly by greedy rich people & corporations raising prices eternally.

[@jadestone8238]

It’s corporate greed and will never stop unless some kind of rules are set that prevent it but they won’t ever do that in America

[@deeanna3335]

I just remember the catchphrase "borgasmord"

[@moonbeamskies3346]

Why are they laughing at him? And why does he sound not so happy about it?

[@nassauguy48]

I think it was implied that he was a mischievous kid who liked seeing his parents having a hard time, in this case, finding affordable food. He could also have wanted fancy meats on his sandwiches (roast beef, steak, etc.), and was pissed about the fact that his mom found something cheaper.

[@Rotary_Phone]

This poor kid always reminded me of Bruce Vilanch.

[@TighelanderII]

Recently I remembered this product, and wondered why they didn't have TV commercials for it anymore. Is the product still around? Are fewer people buying it, so there's no money for ads? I don't think I ever ate it.

[@SKF358]

I'd love some Underwood right now.

[@jtinalexandria]

"Four meek sandwiches for under a dollar"? Can't understand him!

[@MooseCall]

Meat.

[@civlyzed]

@@MooseCallI Yeah, I guess technically it is "meat", but on the plus side, it has a 5 year shelf life. I think I have some in my cupboard, maybe I'll make a "meat" sandwich :D

[@rochelleb973]

I lpved this commercial, and at 60. .i still eat it lol

[@camarena555]

He looks the same as he did as a kid now

[@AfridiZindabad]

i love this kid

[@lastcall170]

He couldn't sell a a free sandwich spread today with his face.

[@kathleenhorn2441]

If you've been in the military, they ate canned spam, ham, etcetera and MRE's (meals ready to eat). They acquire a taste for them. Most of these canned meat contained a lot of SALT. Men/boys crave salt. My Dad (World War II) and my husband (Korean and Vietnam. Vet) still eat canned meat but mostly as a snack in between meals. Me, no. Not crazy about a lot of Salt). I remember these commercials, but still think Mason Reese looks like a weirdo. Sorry Mason.

[@deussolinvictus]

I love Underwood, but in the past month, it’s gone from $1.50 to $2.25/can locally. I can buy Dollar General’s Danish imported Spam equivalent for less.

[@iambumpy]

I can't believe that kid grew up to be JSchlatt

As a kid I always thought he was scary

00:14 why did kids all make these weird ass faces in ads.

[@nassauguy48]

They were going for the "cute factor" as a means of selling.

[@IzludeTingel]

In the other commercial he mentions a chicken spread and a peanut butter one too. Did underwood make peanut butter and apple sauce too? Or was that just an unaffiliated insert?

👏👏👏👏

We'll soon revert to eating bas stuff like this once we get a repeat of 1970s stagflation.

Sadly, this comment aged incredibly well.

[@steveb9151]

If this kid had green hair he'd be an Oompa Loompa!

[@christinacascadilla4473]

That had to be a Carter-era commercial, when the prices at the grocery store were going up so quickly that everyone was upset about food prices and worried how they’d keep eating. (Not that the economy was great during Nixon or Ford, either. The 1970s sucked.)

[@gargantuaism]

Oh I forgot, you have to mix it with mayonnaise and relish. Right out of the can it's terrible.

[@nassauguy48]

It was meant to be a complementary or enhancing food. It was always supposed to be served with something else. I like it with mayonnaise, onion and tomato.

[@gargantuaism]

@@nassauguy48 I am almost positive it does not say that on the can. It says nothing about mixing it with mayo. but it should say that.

He did a ton of commercials back in the 70s. Was on the cover of TV Guide. Co-hosted the Mike Douglas Show.

[@robotikempire]

I can't for the life of me understand why they cast this boy so much. He's very odd to look at and is distracting in the commercials.

[@RyanJohnson-ed5hv]

4 sandwiches from that little can? I'm eating one right now. Mixed it with mayo and relish, topped with a slice of cheese. A little bit salty but not too bad. I think you can get maybe 2 and a half sandwiches from the can. To get 4 you would have to spread it on really thin.

[@Legend813a]

It was around 25¢ per can back then, so 4 cans - 1 dollar
