I usually discuss serials here, but this once let me talk about cereals. Specifically the cereal
Captain Crunch. It's a dandy cereal when you're in the mood for something sweet, but it's those vintage commercials that really trip my trigger. Done by Jay Ward and the same gang that produced Bullwinkle and Rocky among others, these are entertaining bits of merchandising.
Here's the very first Captain Crunch commercial.
Charming.
And for a bonus here's the very first Quisp and Quake commerical.
And here's an offbeat debut for King Vitaman.
Here's a
link which identifies the voice talents for these classic commericals.
Rip Off
HA! I was JUST searching for images for Quisp & Quake to turn into banners for THE board, Rip, and ran into the above Cap'n Crunch image on Google for this site! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna keep it and will use it sometime in the future, so it'll be VERY easy for you to identify! LOL :)
