Cool Whip
Cool Whip Topping
This ad reminds me of when I was kid and how, when nobody was around, I'd get the Reddi Whip from the fridge and spray it directly in my mouth. Nothing like a mouthful of whipped cream!

Forget the pie; just give us the Cool Whip! Thank goodness there's fat-free nowadays.

Morton's Potato Chips
Morton's Potato Chips
The remarkable thing about this ad is how bad it is, if compared to another (later) ad performed by The Carpenters.

Morton's was a potato chip company headquartered in Texas and eventually went out of business. Why? Frito Lay.

Here is a rare "live" ad for Skippy Peanut Butter.

Can't help wondering who the little girl was related to on the show. With talent like hers, one thing seems clear: who you know is very important.
