What Is The Oldest Commercial You Were Around For?

and of course, there was Mikey:

The teasing I got as a kid from this commercial...

Edit - This is one of the oldest I remember actually watching.

These commercials bring back some great memories. I also remember getting our first color TV...a big, 8 or 10 foot long Curtis Mathes console TV with a Hi-Fi stereo built into it.

Two giant knobs for tuning and a giant push/pull button. No remote and rabbit ears.

And you only got 3 channels unless you lived in a big city. If you did you might get a UHF channel in addition to the networks.

The three networks and a local station. The local station always had the best Saturday morning cartoons.

You guys make me feel so young. The oldest I remember is a commercial for some TYCO toy tank that always played on my Brave Little Toaster tape.

What, oldest TV commercial I can remember? Oh Lord......Timex watches on the boat motors with John Cameron Swayze, Fizzies, KoolAid, Ovaltine, Wonder Bread, PF Flyers, who knows. You're talking early 60's here.

^This. For some reason, I used to like the Timex commercials with John Cameron Swayze! And, as has been mentioned, the "Hey Mikey, he likes it!" Life cereal commercials. And Quispy Quakes and Ovaltine and Tang (astronauts) and...

Oh, and the TV was BLACK AND WHITE! Yeah, I'm that old. And listening to the radio, there were many commercials I remember.

Oh yeah, only B&W commercials should be on here. Color commercials don't count, they're not "old".
