it's amazing how many products don't exist anymore. I remember old spice was my dad's favorite. I was a child all through the the 1960s. I was 5 years old to 14. my childhood was the only time in my life I was happy.
Old Spice is still available and they have a whole new range of ads to appeal to newer generations as well as a larger variety of products for various bathroom uses. I never was a fan of the scent but I know how many people loved it.
My father used "Old Spice" (I never did, myself) But My SON does TODAY! It's very much still around, And with many more products with the scent. My Grandfather used Barbasol shave cream in the 1920s. I use it today. Many old products are very much STILL around!
My dad had a projector that was a big one. You had to turn off the lights. He also had the projector screen.We watches videos of our families and cartoons. It was a treat for us.
The dark-haired gossipy lady in the Faultless spray starch commercial is Rosemary Elliot. She was in lots of TV shows and commercials during the '60s. The voiceover guy in that ad is Dick Tufeld, the voice of the robot on Lost in Space, as well as a voiceover announcer in TV commercials from the '50s to the 'early '80s.

Anyone remember the Soda Burst and if it was any good? I wasn’t even close to being born yet, my mom was a baby in the 60’s but I’m fascinated by the commercials
No memory of it whatsoever, which makes me think it might not have been available all over the country. If I'd seen a commercial like this one I know I would've wanted to try it. That it disappeared without a trace - and that they had to lower the price - implies that it failed within a fairly short time.
General Mills introduced the "Pick-A-Pack" assortment in 1956. It was replaced by their "Goodness Pack" package [with individual boxes instead of bags] in 1962.
That sodaburst actually looked good even in black and white. That looks convenient. I’m sure they make something similar I’d like to have a root beer float by just pouring water over the ice cream.
General Foods'Birds Eye division introduced "Sodaburst" in 1963- and then expanded the flavors from two to four........and they really didn't sell that well. Hence, "new lower prices" in 1965....and sales *still* weren't up to expectations. It was quietly discontinued in 1966.
Beth in that first Old Spice ad looked like former Playboy Playmate Dianne Chandler. She would have been in the magazine right around the time that commercial aired.
I don't understand the ice cream today with cookie crumbs. I'll never get that kind, they never had them in the 60s. Of course they did have neapolitan ...
I love how we can look back with our contemporary sentiments and apply them to another situation, where they probably didn't even fit, like that commercial. It was a cute commercial that didn't mean anything.
The "Starmite" used Kodak #127 film (larger than 35mm!), And it was a flash camera (could be used without "bright sunlight", the flash could be used as a fill light.) Yeah, it WAS a cheap camera, not a "world beating", not to mention fixed focus lens. BUT it was capable of very good photos if used correctly. It's a 4ft to infinity camera, a "box camera" to be sure, But friggin' Ansel Adams shot stunning photos with a Kodak "vest pocket" camera that was TECHNICALLY not as good as the "Starmite". It's not "gear" it's skill. Source: Camera collector, Used many "good" and "cheap" cameras! Pentax K-1000 to current Nikon D-850 as well as many different Kodak "Brownies" and "Instamatics"! LOL.
@@jamesslick4790 During the 60's my family had a Kodak Dualflex 2 camera. The film for that camera was as big as 1980's medium format film. At the time I didn't appreciate the capabilities of film that large. The slides from the "Starmite" look big. How do you show them? I just noticed that a news photographer in "Fallout" on Amazon Prime is using a Mamiya RB67 despite the 50's era setting.
@@juliemnm8273 I can't say when the ad came out, BUT as a camera collector, I assure you that Kodak still used the name "Brownie" on their lower priced cameras into the mid 1960s. The Brownie "Starmite" mentioned in the ad was from no earlier than mid 1960, and was made until 1965. So this HAS to be at earliest a 1960 ad. There was also the 1964 World's Fair Brownie (#312 Flash) for example. In other markets where Kodak used the "Brownie" brand into the 1980s.

All the cereal companies marketed brands with freeze-dried fruit...the problem was by the time the fruit was hydrated enough to eat, the cereal was soggy.
Lots of ads ran for years, There's a chance that a 1956-7 ad would still run in 1960-61. Hell, in Pittsburgh there's a local chain restaurant (Eat 'N Park) that has been running the same Christmas time ad since....1982! (Reputed to be one of the longest running TV ads in US history!)
These 'vintage-commercials' would sound better if you used the Limiter on your Audio-Mixer. Many sources means a mish-mash of volume-levels, which change in each spot. A limiter would help keep things at an even and more balanced volume-level.

There's a chance that "Brim" was test-marketed in the late 1960s in selected areas before "going national". I was enjoying "Reese's Pieces" for a HALF DECADE before "E.T." put them on the map. But then again I'm from Pennsylvania. I do remember my mother drinking "Brim" in the VERY early 70s ('71,'72) I was 9 or 10 and used to make it for her, She liked it better than "Sanka". "Brim" is still a brand, but now sold as "low acid", rather than just decaf.
