The Benson and Hedges cigarette commercials taht featured Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan. I would like to acquire copies of these.

I like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups ad with Robby Benson and Donny Most (best known as Ralph Malph from Happy Days) -
"You've got your chocolate in my peanut butter, you've got your peanut butter in my chocolate!"  ;D

I also like the Heinz Ketchup ads with that song 'Anticipation' by Carly Simon - as a kid I always considered that "the ketchup song"  :)

Bumble Bee Tuna where the kids are running with a bee shaped balloon singing "Bum, Bum, Bumble Bee, Bumble Bee Tuna.  I love Bumble Bee, Bumble Bee Tuna"

Honey Comb cereal "Honey Comb's big, yeah! yeah! yeah! It's not small, no! no! no!"

My bologna has a first name. It's O-S-C-A-R.

Oh I love to eat it everyday and if you ask me why I'll say...
'Cause Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A.

How's that?

The Burger King commercial that went something like this.  Two all beef patties in a special super sauce on a sesame seed bun.  You were supposed to say it fast to see long it would be before you screwed  up the words.

"2 all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun."

I never typed those words before. It sure feels strange.

I always liked those Nestea plunge commercials.

"What's this stuff?"
"Some cereal."
"Did you try?"
"I'm not gonna try it- YOU try it."
"I'm not gonna try it. Hey! Let's get Mikey!"
"He won't eat it; he hates everything."
"He likes it! Hey Mikey!"

Without doubt my favorite was the "I'd like to by the world a coke" commercial........it sums up the seventies for me as well as any memorabilia or kitsch could

That was McDonald's. Burger King was "Have it your way".

I liked the Keep America Beautiful-Crying Indian Commerical. It was sad, yet beautiful.
