Breyers Ice Cream- I like how the condensation on the cherry on top of the ice cream at 0:31 makes it look like the cherry is sweating. Burger King- The character of a puppet burger in a frame throughout this commercial reminds me of Grimace from McDonald’s.
Children make back flips on a trampoline look so easy. I remember when I got double bounced on somebody's back yard trampoline and landed a back flip when I was like 8 that was when my gymnastics career was winding down
100% Florida Grapefruit Juice-drinking it in slow sips is recommended Real People-every episode was just like the announcer described 🤣 How The Beatles Changed The World-wouldnt have minded if it were just an entire special of David Clayton Thomas doing Beatles covers Nestle $100,000 Bar-nowadays there's lots of recipes online on how to create your own Honey Comb-liked the animation in this ad
Wow. I just watched a set of commercials from 1993. That was 30 years ago. In 1993, 1979 seemed like it was another time and it was 14 years before then. Fourteen years before now was 2009. I can't imagine anyone caring enough to put commercials from that year online in a collection, nor do I know of any.
Special Treat was NBC's answer to ABC's Afterschool Specials back in the 1970s. I think they might have discontinued them in the 1980s. That was when CBS tried to compete with their Schoolbreak Specials.
Interesting mix of kid- and adult-oriented commercials here. This was when I was watching "kiddie" shows, but I don't remember "Special Treat." 2:07--I love that catchy jingle for the Nestle $100,000 bar (still around, but now called 100 Grand). 3:38--The Kool-Aid pitcher was an advertising icon back then. 4:12--I loved Silly Putty when I was a kid, but I never had that Man Adventure Kit when I was a kid, 5:42--What ever happened to Trident Sugarless Mints? Great jingle here. 7:43--Trident gum, on the other hand, is alive and well. 8:13--Ah, Super Sugar Crisp! I believe originally (even before my time) it was just "Sugar Crisp." Then, of course, it became taboo to use the word "sugar" in the name of a cereal, so it became "Super Golden Crisp" (and I think now it's just "Golden Crisp"). I actually had one of those little terrariums. 9:16--Another advertising icon of the day--the Nestle Quik rabbit who keeps trying (and failing) to drink Quik (now called Nesquik) slowly. 10:46--What ever happened to Listermint? I haven't seen that brand of mouthwash in ages. It also came in cinnamon flavor.

Totally agree about the Special Treat bumpers. Brings me back to my childhood with a bit of Sesame Street vibes. lol
In the 80s, those shows and later Main Street with Bryant Gumbel preempted game shows on KYW when it was at NBC station.
Diane Franklin in the Trident commercial!!!
I was born in early March of 1979, so I was about two months old when these commercials aired. Watching these made me feel old, LOL!
Special Treat was NBC's version of the afterschool specials seen on ABC and CBS once a month. This ran until 1986.
I remember having that terrarium from the Sugar Crisps cereal.
It went from Super Sugar Crisp to Super Golden Crisp to just Golden Crisp now.
Also Sugar Smacks to Honey Smacks, then just Smacks and now back to Honey Smacks
Dang, Tom. Calm down about how good the grapefruit juice is.

Kool-aid man went from busting through walls to falling through ceilings

Yeah, definitely get a late 70s Sesame Street vibe from Special Treat.

0:08 - Yeah, Tom here doesn’t seem quite so enthusiastic.

Excellent set!👏👏😃
Quality upload, as always!!
Real People and That's Incredible were my jam!
You’d think the Duke of Doubt would just stop after a while. You don’t have to live up to your name.
8:12 - 10 years later, this gorilla would be getting his ass kicked by Sugar Bear for this.
That BK commercial is nightmare fuel
