Several things strike me about this commercial: were we really that dorky? (Probably.) There is exactly one black guy in the commercial, but if you close your eyes and listen ("mmm-hmmm") they are clearly trying to reach that audience. Maybe two black people on screen would have been too scary? Also, it looks like these things used about a pound of styrofoam apiece.
An 80s commercial for Honeycomb with Andre the Giant. Pretty stupid really, but you may smile when you hear the jingle.
One of my favorite ads from the 80s. Mostly because it had 1) a video game reference and 2) peanut butter cups.
