Retro Friday: Early Days of TV Edition

And now for something a little different: Some old, B&W TV commercials. This collection includes spots from Sugar Smacks, Alka-Seltzer, Bosco syrup, Tootsie Roll pop, Nabisco swiss creme sandwich cookies, Old Gold cigarettes (“made by tobacco men, not medicine men”), Ovaltine, Tang and Lifebuoy soap.

But my favorite has to be the one featuring Mike Wallace, pimping shortening — P&G’s “Fluffo.” “Ahh man, that’s SOME apple pie!”
