Yes, a pioneer example of electroacoustic music in advertising. "Electroacoustic," that's good, Circled! I thought it was just some guy making noises with a hollow stick. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) They are still making percolators, so people must be using them.

Oh my gosh! ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) I can't even think of the last time I drank percolated coffee! :huh: I don't remember the commercial, but I sure enjoyed it! :thumbsup: ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png) That was a time when they didn't have those commercials with loud-@$$ music in the background where you can't even hear the product being advertised (not that I care, anyway). ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) Did you notice how many times he kept saying "Maxwell House", as well as other repetitions? ;D

Thanks for the clip, Circled! You brought back a lot of memories. That was Top Cat with the meeces." ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Actually no it wasn't Midge. There were no mice in Top Cat! ;D It was definitely Mr. Jinks' expression.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Jinks

I started to comment on that too, Midge. That would be something to have, wouldn't it? (Even for a non-sports person.) :thumbsup: :jump:

Yes, that book would be a collector's item. Maybe it's for sale on e-Bay, who knows?

Yes it is. Starting bid is set at $8.00 ;D I checked out the listing. Zero bids so far. If I were the seller, I would put in a link to the vintage ad. That might generate more interest.

"King Size" Coca-Cola? Interesting name for it! ;D
Have you ever noticed, though, that Coca-Cola seems to look more refreshing and appealing in a glass bottle too, than in plastic? :devilish: Plastic just will never do for any soda what a glass bottle can do! :uhuh: But that's just my opinion! :thumbsup:

So true. And, I always thought it tasted better in the 8 ounce bottle. ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

Oh, my gosh! How generic can a commercial BE?!?! ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) ;D ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) ;D It was so cheesy! ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) I liked the commercial for it's age (and also, because of my favorite cereal ;D) but ..... WOW!!!! ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) :uhuh: :drunk: Thanx for posting that, Circled! :thumbsup:

I like how Miss Frances puts words in the kiddies' mouths and then "answers" them. ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) I used to be such a huge fan of this show, but now I think it is even more mind-numbing than Barney.
