View show details

The Old Time Radio Snack Wagon serves up its third sampler of vintage commercials, featuring five memorable advertisements from the 1940s through the 1960s. From beloved radio personalities to singing cereal mascots and science-fiction comedy, these commercials offer an entertaining look at how advertisers captured audiences' attention during radio's golden age and beyond.

The collection begins with a 1968 Texaco commercial featuring Jack Benny and Dennis Day, making good use of Benny's legendary reputation for thriftiness. Next comes an unusually apologetic 1945 Wrigley's Spearmint advertisement, reflecting the shortages and manufacturing challenges that continued after World War II.

The sampler also features a 1950s Crest toothpaste commercial emphasizing scientific research, a musical appearance by Snap, Crackle, and Pop promoting Rice Krispies, and a wonderfully unusual 1959 Lysol advertisement featuring visitors from outer space.

Together, these commercials reveal how advertising reflected the concerns, humor, popular culture, and changing consumer expectations of mid-20th-century America.Subscribe to the Old Time Radio Snack Wagon at https://www.snackwagon.net
