California raisins commercial Posted by: wdln
Video duration: 30 seconds One of many commercials featuring the California Raisins, a group of motown-singing anthropomorphized raisins made out of clay Peter-Gabriel style. If I looked down and saw my raisins walking out of the box and dancing around, I don't think I'd ever eat another one. From 1987. Related: california, clay, commercial, raisins, vintage |

1987 Buick Regal commercial Posted by: wdln
Video duration: 60 seconds "The Great American Road" jingle! Full-sing, tailored just for the Regal. In my mind, 1987 is when a lot of GM cars started to look more stylized and contemporary and less boxy, and this is a good example. My parents had both an '86 and an '87 Olds and they were very different from each other. Related: buick, commercial, regal, vintage |

2XL Commercial 3 (1978) Posted by: wdln
Video duration: 32 seconds Yet another commercial for the original 8-track-based 2XL educational "robot".

Wrigley's Doublemint Gum Commercial Posted by: wdln
Video duration: 30 seconds One of many classic '80's commercials for Wrigley's Doublemint Gum that seemingly ran for years. The premise was the same on all of these: hot female twins purchase gum and flirt with a pair of men. Hooray for GUM! Related: 1987, commercial, doublemint, gum, twins, vintage, wrigley, wrigleys |

Delta Air Lines commercial Posted by: wdln
