Subject: Help! 70s TV commercial
Written By: Pwee1960 on 02/12/09 at 5:53 pm
Hi -- I just found this forum trying to find an answer to the following:
In the 70's (pretty sure it was the 70s) there was a commercial with a jingle that several friends can remember but nobody knows what the product was. Can anyone here remember?
The TV commercial had a guy in a white chef's suit I think and he was calling out, "Strawberry! Blueberry! Cherry!"
Thanks in advance!

It might be Kellog's Pop Tarts

I thought he was pushing a cart as an outdoor fruit seller, but he's selling either pop tarts or jello I think. I know this jingle, the guy sings in sort of a Italian operatic voice

Thanks for the help. I thought it was Pop Tarts, too, but can't seem to find out for sure. Yes! It is the one with the guy pushing the cart.
Just one of those nagging things now that the jingle is in my head! :)

I may be wrong but I think it was a commercial for Hostess Fruit Pies.

Nailed it. Proof courtesy of Don, who posted about it in another thread. Poster warped cites it as being from September 1968.
Pop-Tarts Commercial.
(Fruit vendor walking with cart, calling out) "Strawberries! Bluberries! Cherries!"
(Narrator) "Get real fruit, freshly preserved, in Kellogg's Pop Tarts. A tasty change of pastry with a tender sweet double crust. Toast 'em up golden for breakfast. Serve 'em fresh in many fresh fruit flavors, plus brown sugar/cinnamon. Get your Kellogg's Pop-Tarts."
The Special K commercial that immediately follows the Pop-Tarts spot is also interesting - it sounds like "protein" was once pronounced with three syllables: "pro-tee-inn".

the video was in black and white so you know it came from the 60's.
