Television commercials today are slick, highly produced and filled with computer graphics that dazzle the eyes.  They might not make you buy whatever the product is, heck often times i don't even know what product it is they want me to buy!

But back in what I call the 'old, simpler days', commercials didn't have all the glitz and shiny graphics they have now.  They didn't have all the sex and loud noises.  Nope.

And you know what?  I think they probably sold products better than they do today.

Check out this great 'teacher' telling us about the benefits of Wheaties.  In fact, she pretty much just sold us the box!

And you even got a free blackboard with it!
