Classic Television Commercials That Take You Back To Childhood

1960s advetising: A decade of creative revolution.

1. American Tourister luggage

Nothing says “durable luggage” like a gorilla tossing a suitcase around a steel cage. This was the first spot of the “Gorilla” campaign, which started airing in the late 1960s, and obviously featured a real gorilla. (Note how quickly the man exits the cage after dropping off the suitcase.) Follow-up spots used a man in a gorilla suit. Ad agency: Doyle Dane Bernbach

The “noisiest chips in the world” – hence the Noise Abatement Pledge. Ad agency: Doyle Dane Bernbach.


3. Heinz pickles
