Remembering the great food commercials

The Daily Meal has a wonderful list today for all of you of a certain age who might have spent a fair time in front of a television set (we plead guilty) in the U.S. It’s a list of The 11 Most Iconic Food Commercials of All Time, plus links to the actual commercial on You Tube. As they say, “They’re more than just ads, they’re cultural touchstones.”

Among the ones they list are several of our favorites:  The Claymation raisins singing I Heard it Through the Grapevine, the Spicy Meatball commercial from Alka-Seltzer, and, definitely, Mikey for Life Cereal. But think of the ones they missed – the Bill Cosby Jell-O episodes, the Trix Bunny always losing out because “Trix are for kids,” the Wendy’s “Where’s the beef” lady, and we are even nostalgic for the Green Giant – ho, ho, ho.

Enjoy the trip through memory lane, and let us know which ones you especially liked and don’t see on the list.
