Vintage Classic 1960s Commercials

[@Eggier]

Can't wait to go purchase these

[@Thomas-yr9ln]

it's amazing how many products don't exist anymore. I remember old spice was my dad's favorite. I was a child all through the the 1960s. I was 5 years old to 14. my childhood was the only time in my life I was happy.

[@ecthelion222]

Old Spice is still available and they have a whole new range of ads to appeal to newer generations as well as a larger variety of products for various bathroom uses. I never was a fan of the scent but I know how many people loved it.

[@jamesslick4790]

My father used "Old Spice" (I never did, myself) But My SON does TODAY! It's very much still around, And with many more products with the scent. My Grandfather used Barbasol shave cream in the 1920s. I use it today. Many old products are very much STILL around!

[@jamesslick4790]

The IBM "Selectric" was a GAME CHANGER! Before this machine, A printing press was the only way do make documents THAT crisp!

[@elc1960]

The dark-haired gossipy lady in the Faultless spray starch commercial is Rosemary Elliot. She was in lots of TV shows and commercials during the '60s. The voiceover guy in that ad is Dick Tufeld, the voice of the robot on Lost in Space, as well as a voiceover announcer in TV commercials from the '50s to the 'early '80s.

My grandparents on both sides keep extra Coke in the garage. That commercial would have been on when they were raising my parents.

[@juliemnm8273]

[@Eargesplitten-Loudenboomer]

@@juliemnm8273 That was supposed to say Diet instead of extra. I might have did it on my phone and it auto corrected. The comment was more about the Aspartame/Aluminum/BPA liners. That shit will mess you up like it did to them.

[@fromthesidelines]

General Mills introduced the "Pick-A-Pack" assortment in 1956. It was replaced by their "Goodness Pack" package [with individual boxes instead of bags] in 1962.

[@CaptchaNeon]

Anyone remember the Soda Burst and if it was any good? I wasn’t even close to being born yet, my mom was a baby in the 60’s but I’m fascinated by the commercials

[@hebneh]

No memory of it whatsoever, which makes me think it might not have been available all over the country. If I'd seen a commercial like this one I know I would've wanted to try it. That it disappeared without a trace - and that they had to lower the price - implies that it failed within a fairly short time.

Ah yes love the ice cream flavor black and white. Separate but equal sugar

[@JoanSmith-t7k]

I don't understand the ice cream today with cookie crumbs. I'll never get that kind, they never had them in the 60s. Of course they did have neapolitan ...

[@daisyflowers9334]

I love how we can look back with our contemporary sentiments and apply them to another situation, where they probably didn't even fit, like that commercial. It was a cute commercial that didn't mean anything.

[@ecthelion222]

That sodaburst actually looked good even in black and white. That looks convenient. I’m sure they make something similar I’d like to have a root beer float by just pouring water over the ice cream.

[@JJJBRICE]

[@JoanSmith-t7k]

In the 1960s, never heard of soda burst - is that from another planet? 😮 I always wanted my Fizzies ... including the root beer kind ! 😊

[@fromthesidelines]

General Foods'Birds Eye division introduced "Sodaburst" in 1963- and then expanded the flavors from two to four........and they really didn't sell that well. Hence, "new lower prices" in 1965....and sales *still* weren't up to expectations. It was quietly discontinued in 1966.

[@DavidBale-vn4op]

I dabbled in Fizzies too.

[@patriciafeehan7732]

I loved the Selectric

[@jamesslick4790]

Yes, It was the Pinnacle of typewriter design! Perfect keyboard feel, perfect print! The BEST series of typewriters EVER made!

[@waverly2468]

I love that camera at 13:00. Or course half of the pictures you took with a cheap camera like that turned out bad. It only worked in bright sunlight.

[@jamesslick4790]

The "Starmite" used Kodak #127 film (larger than 35mm!), And it was a flash camera (could be used without "bright sunlight", the flash could be used as a fill light.) Yeah, it WAS a cheap camera, not a "world beating", not to mention fixed focus lens. BUT it was capable of very good photos if used correctly. It's a 4ft to infinity camera, a "box camera" to be sure, But friggin' Ansel Adams shot stunning photos with a Kodak "vest pocket" camera that was TECHNICALLY not as good as the "Starmite". It's not "gear" it's skill. Source: Camera collector, Used many "good" and "cheap" cameras! Pentax K-1000 to current Nikon D-850 as well as many different Kodak "Brownies" and "Instamatics"! LOL.

[@waverly2468]

@@jamesslick4790 During the 60's my family had a Kodak Dualflex 2 camera. The film for that camera was as big as 1980's medium format film. At the time I didn't appreciate the capabilities of film that large. The slides from the "Starmite" look big. How do you show them? I just noticed that a news photographer in "Fallout" on Amazon Prime is using a Mamiya RB67 despite the 50's era setting.

A few of these commercials are actually from the 1950s, not the '60s: Kodak movie projector, Ballentine's Ale, and Old Spice Smooth Shave.

[@juliemnm8273]

Not to mention Harriet Nelson talking about Kodak Brownie camera.

[@jamesslick4790]

@@juliemnm8273 I can't say when the ad came out, BUT as a camera collector, I assure you that Kodak still used the name "Brownie" on their lower priced cameras into the mid 1960s. The Brownie "Starmite" mentioned in the ad was from no earlier than mid 1960, and was made until 1965. So this HAS to be at earliest a 1960 ad. There was also the 1964 World's Fair Brownie (#312 Flash) for example. In other markets where Kodak used the "Brownie" brand into the 1980s.

[@fromthesidelines]

The 1957 Ballantine Ale commercial was produced by Joop Geesink's "Dollywood" stop-motion animation studio in the Netherlands.

All the cereal companies marketed brands with freeze-dried fruit...the problem was by the time the fruit was hydrated enough to eat, the cereal was soggy.

[@ernestcruz6316]

That stop-motion Ballantine ale ad was likely from the mid-1950s.

[@jamesslick4790]

Lots of ads ran for years, There's a chance that a 1956-7 ad would still run in 1960-61. Hell, in Pittsburgh there's a local chain restaurant (Eat 'N Park) that has been running the same Christmas time ad since....1982! (Reputed to be one of the longest running TV ads in US history!)

In the 1960s, you would've seen many brand cereals at 79 cents each, that was their full price. Except for Kellogg's Corn Flakes, that was 59 cents.

These 'vintage-commercials' would sound better if you used the Limiter on your Audio-Mixer. Many sources means a mish-mash of volume-levels, which change in each spot. A limiter would help keep things at an even and more balanced volume-level.

There's a chance that "Brim" was test-marketed in the late 1960s in selected areas before "going national". I was enjoying "Reese's Pieces" for a HALF DECADE before "E.T." put them on the map. But then again I'm from Pennsylvania. I do remember my mother drinking "Brim" in the VERY early 70s ('71,'72) I was 9 or 10 and used to make it for her, She liked it better than "Sanka". "Brim" is still a brand, but now sold as "low acid", rather than just decaf.
