My name is Bill and I love commercials. Back in the 70’s and 80’s, and to an extent, the early 90’s, they had such a corniness to them, that made them distinctly from that era. Growing up in the 80’s, I have a strong attachment to them.

What a great idea for a blog.
I’ve been looking for the Sizzlean commercial for a while and can’t find it. “Move over bacon, here comes something meatier.”

looking for the old Burger King commercial from the mid 70’s featuring a kid named “Hubble McQubble”..(or something like that) who would always twice for “double meat, double meat” on his BK burgers….

LozerBoozer, I looked on Youtube, Google, and other sites, but couldn’t find it. If I do, I’ll let you know!

Hydrox came before Oreo by 3 years, introduced in 1908. At one time Hydroz outsold Oreo by 10 to 1 or more in most markets. Sunshine failed to grasp the impact and power of television in the 60s and faded from a fortune 500 member to oblivion. The singer in the commercial was in fact Sammy, not an impersonator.

I love your site – I do a retro pop culture blog on yesterday vs. today and commercials are a big part of pop culture aren’t they?
