That Fifth Avenue candy commercial is narrated by my dad, Bob Hite - CBS news anchor and announcer from 1944 to 1979. Formerly at WXYZ Detroit, where he narrated the Lone Ranger, Green Hornet, Yukon Challenge and The Shadow. At CBS he announced the end of WWII in Europe - VE Day, May 8th, 1945; in the 1950s hosted the CBS local tri-state tv news - and was probably best remembered for announcing the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite from 1970 to 1979. He also narrated one of Stanley Kubrick's first RKO Pathe film shorts, The Flying Padre, amongst many other RKO Pathe films, mostly in the 50s.
My late grandmother loved Three Muskateers candy. We used tio buy them for her in the fun sized bags, when they realy were Fun Sized bars, not the little thumb nail sized things they call them now
We had moved into town the day before I started first grade in 1965. Across the street from the school was a candy shop. Everyone who was anyone bought something there on the way back to school after walking home for lunch, or for a snack on the way home. I was given an entire *_25¢_* for myself every week! _FIVE_ whole cents a day! This was my first foray into budgeting and money-management. There were barrels and buckets and boxes of penny candy and even items that were 2 for a penny, as well as singles and multiples for 5¢ and 10¢. It was tricky, especially before I understood multiplication and division. I particularly loved the items that were 2¢ each or 3 for a nickel! Woah, the bargain! Getting such a deal made it taste all the sweeter. I remember I messed up about the second or third week, had blown the lot by Wednesday (it was that dastardly multiplication!). My parents reviewed the arithmetic with me and gave me an extra dime, but I was to know that that was the _last_ extra dime I was getting. Oh, how I loved planning what I was going to get, feeling so rich and powerful, able to make my own decisions. I could swap with friends, and give gifts, and discuss the merits of each candy on those walks home. So worldly! My dad would ask every Sunday evening how many days of school the coming week, and put change in a tiny little basket with a pipe-cleaner palm tree sticking out of it on my dresser. Once I had the basics down, I told him I still needed the whole 25¢ for weeks with only 4 schooldays, so I could try the 'expensive' ten-cent candies. He agreed, but I had to promise to bring the special candy home before I opened it and share it with my little brother (I occasionally gave him something anyhow; I remember getting those tiny wax pop bottles just because he liked them). That candy store woman and her daughter(?) did darn good business, very consistent, and probably retired to a spread in Florida. The daughter was nice and even smiled, but the older woman was rather curt. Of course, a couple hundred customers a day spending an average of around 7 cents might do that to a person.
When I was small my dad always told us how much candy cost when he was growing up & we poo pood him...little did I know how right he'd be...my grandkids will never know what penny candy was...
Does anyone remember U-No candy bars? Or Abba-Zaba candy bars? It's nice to sometimes look back at old commercials and remember things we might not have thought about in years :)
O yes! My mom remembered them back in the Great Depression. Then, at college in the early 70s, what should I discover but the Uno Bar in our dorm's vending machine! I bought several for her and took them home to her one weekend.
10:16 this lifesavers commercial reminds me of the funny animation they had in Monty Pythons flying circus. HA HA 10:43 I remember this Life Savers commercial very well! Ahh the kinder, simpler times of childhood :)
I remember a candy store in my town run by a Mr. and Mrs. Palko. They watched their TV set up in a corner near the ceiling. It had a tin ceiling, ceiling fan, wooden floor, a store cat, and a great candy counter! Mr. Palko didn't talk much, but Mrs. Palko was a sweetie. They'd accept returned soda bottles in trade for some penny candy: Atomic fireballs, squirrel nut zippers, Mary Janes, etc.. You'd get a small paper bag of mix and match candies of your choice for 10 cents! They also sold comic books. (My favorites? Casper, Richie Rich, etc.)
Those were great to see again! Thanks, Fred! Anyone remember Razzles? Is it a candy or is it a gum? Usually wound up swallowing them, cuz they took so long to chew them enough to make them a 'gum'. Ha!
morlockmeat - One can still occasionally find Razzles at specialty candy shops. I used to buy them as a kid, then didn't see them again till college. Only seen them rarely since.
+tejaswoman - Holy crap! They still exist? Wonder if they taste the same. I'll have to keep an eye out for them. Would like to see if they still dissolve before becoming a gum. Ha! Thanks!
Candy bars were HUGE big, thick, rectangles, like pillows! Hollywood Bar, Milkshake, Chicken Dinner - without the crappy bizarre additives we have today; they hadn’t been invented yet 😝
Another well received video, many thanks for the skate backwards and nice memories. Cannot imagine any thumbs down for your videos, Fred. Obviously they were not children in the 60's or 70's for that matter,....perhaps they never were children. Sad.
Love these ads, Fred! I wonder the reasoning early on they would say "Peter Paul", then later it would be just Mounds or Almond Joy (even though Peter Paul was still on the label). I once got into my mom's either Ayds or a knock off, thinking it was chocolate. Boy was I wrong :)! Ghastly!!!
Maybe they didn't want to get confused with Peter, Paul and Mary? But, seriously, I remember the jingle always being: "Peter Paul Almond Joy has nuts, Peter Paul Mounds don't."
I never liked Hershey's milk chocolate much, but LOVE the Symphony bar. We got some real German chocolate, compared taste to Symphony, and foud Symphony surprisingly better. My mom's favorite candy bar was the Uno bar. I also have a recipe for Fifth Avenue, very close. Mom also liked the almond Joy and Mounds. Her favorite treat from kid through adult was the coconut marshmallows.
I certainly enjoyed those classic candy ads. The one for Ayds dietetic candy however, was quite disconcerting due to its bad reputation. Thanks from a true candy gourmet.
TimelordR. Ayds didn't have a 'bad reputation', just an unfortunate name....which is not to say the stuff worked-- one of my relatives went through boxes of it with no noticeable effect.
Sheri451 Well, I can definitely confirm that's not accurate (though hilarious!). However, if you've ever tasted a diet drink from the 60's/70's named Sego (chocolate flavor), then you DO know what it tastes like.
Oh :) This reminds me of the time I was a teen and mom and I were in a posh quiet depertment store. we were sharing candy, and I made her put most of a packet of Pop Rocks in her mouth. She never had tried them before, and was so embarrassed crackling and popping in this quiet store, started laughing hard, but not wanting to open her mouth!
Does anyone remember the CHUNKY scandal of the 70s? It was reported that rat hairs & poop were found in some Chunky bars. Parents and kids alike were freaked out. Of course in retrospect, knowing what sort of filth ends up in the foods we've been eating, a little rat detritus doesn't seem so awful. Great collection of spots. Brings back a lot of memories. Thanks!
Hey big bro! How many licks does it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll? I guess the world may never know! Lol!!! Damn, I miss that commercial! Thanks Fred! Next time you look in the mirror say to your reflection "Yeah, I'm the man" Mr. Nostalgia!
More "tasty stuff", Fred! The one candy bar from my childhood I would give anything to have again, is the 7Up Bar. No, it didn't taste like the soda, it was like have a mini Whitman Sampler in a bar...8 little squares of assorted flavors like maple, orange jelly, nougat, etc. all connected, and coated in milk chocolate. If you ever see anything on that, let me know. :)
They used to have almonds on top of the 6th Avenue bar but then Ludens sold the rights to Hershey and they changed the flavor of the chocolate and what I find sacreligious they removed the almonds. As a result I refuse to eat the 4th Avenue bar.
Mom shopped for groceries,no chocolate bars or sugar laden cereals.Our Grammy my Dad's Mom spoiled us with homemade cookies & dessert squares though.But "not too much you'll spoil your dinner" deal,during a visit or weekend stay at Grammy's.
Yeah, when you are a parent you feel very responsible. I'm one of those grandparents you describe haha, and I'll bet our strict daughters will turn around and do the same thing as grandparents hahaha.
12:12 Jake Holmes sings for Reese's Pieces. 5:50 Dan Ingram, the famous NYC disc jockey, on the voice over for Hot Shots. 10:39 John Connell on the VO for Life Savers. 13:04 and here he is again for Junior Mints. 3:51 Valerie Simpson sings about candy bars. You know her from the duo of Ashford & Simpson. 4:30 and here's an early example of a Peter Thomas voice over.
At 9:14 pitching AYDS was longtime Chicago TV personality Lee Phillip . Her husband , Bill Bell , was the man behind the soap , THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS , and had a hand in other soaps .
Amazing these candy commercial ads are like way before me & my older brother's time, and both my older brother & I was born in the early 70's & 80's. I take that these were the type candies that my parents had grew up on when they was little kids, and both my parents were born in the early 50's too. Welcome to the world of nostalgia for candy ads I guess. And to think they actually had the kind of chocolate candy called "Ayds" that is spelled with an A-y-d-s and not spelled "A-i-d-s."
These commercials are a HELL of a lot better than what we are watching today. They are more entertaining! I just wonder if the adults who were kids when these commercials were playing if they found it just as entertaining then like us "youngsters" do now🤷♀️😊
Not mentioned here, but does anyone remember sin-sins? I had them in the 60s, they had a very unusual flavor, little small hard candy squares, groved on the flat sides, you bout them by the quarter pound, I loved them.
I love this!!! Especially delightful to see the Sour Bites ad, a candy I loved as a little kid but forgot about them (consciously) til now🥰; Does anyone remember the candy that was basically a hollow (no caramel center) Rolo???
I saw a video clip of Elvis Costello with Geraldo Rivera for 20/20 in 1977 they were in a supermarket (The A&P) and Geraldo was asking people at the supermarket what they thought of "Punk Rock" and the people there thought he was talking about "Pop Rocks" they said they liked to eat it, it was funny.
Ah! You've never tried putting three or four Good n' Plenty into your mouth, then chasing it with a swig of Budweiser. I'm not kidding... it's amazing.
Ha ha ha... I licked a Tootsie Pop one time to find out how many licks to get to the center! Tho... I've now forgotten how many it took! I know it was over 100 because I remember being surprised at that.
At 3:51 starts the '70s Almond Joy/Mounds commercial. The female vocalist on that jingle sure sounds like Lynn Ahrens to me. She sang on School House Rock - Nouns: Person, Place or Thing. I could be wrong, but sure sounds like her to me.
I used to be hooked on 5th Avenue bars back in the late 80's I would crave them.Kind of like a Butterfinger but better.I never seen one with almonds though, like in that commercial.

That chunky bar looked like it was 1/4 pound, and only 5 cents? Now, it would be called family size and cost $5.00.
You idiot
When I was small my dad always told us how much candy cost when he was growing up & we poo pood him...little did I know how right he'd be...my grandkids will never know what penny candy was...
Does anyone remember U-No candy bars? Or Abba-Zaba candy bars?
It's nice to sometimes look back at old commercials and remember things we might not have thought about in years :)
Check out The Annabelle Candy Company in Hayward California for abba zabba, u-no etc.
O yes! My mom remembered them back in the Great Depression. Then, at college in the early 70s, what should I discover but the Uno Bar in our dorm's vending machine! I bought several for her and took them home to her one weekend.
Abba-zaba bars are sold at Out Door World. Bass Pro in Connecticut. I saw them there.
10:16 this lifesavers commercial reminds me of the funny animation they had in Monty Pythons flying circus. HA HA
10:43 I remember this Life Savers commercial very well! Ahh the kinder, simpler times of childhood :)
Wow wish they still made all of these candy bars that size! Thanks for these!
They would, provided you paid more for it.
@@luisreyes1963 Adjusted for inflation, the price is already much higher than ever, since there was a minimum wage.
MARILYN LOVED THESE CANDIES WHEN I WAS SIX YEARS OLD IN 1969 MY BROTHER STEVE LOVED CHOCOLATE BARS FOE HALLOWEEN EVERY YEAR WE SHARED OUR TREATS
Wow, the late great Buster Keaton in the Milky Way commercial!
I remember a candy store in my town run by a Mr. and Mrs. Palko. They watched their TV set up in a corner near the ceiling. It had a tin ceiling, ceiling fan, wooden floor, a store cat, and a great candy counter! Mr. Palko didn't talk much, but Mrs. Palko was a sweetie.

Charlie says "Love my Good And Plenty!" Charlie says "Really rings the Bell!"
I can remember my mom singing this, as a child.
O! Still love that, and can get it on Amazon!
Anyone remember Yodell's it was a chocolate roll with cream inside, loved those, they were a dime.
Could they be the NY equivalent of Hostess' Ho-Hos?
I've still seen that Mr. Owl Tootsie Pop commercial on TV as recently as a few years back.
That was the short version
I remember 5cents & 10 cent candy bars. And 5 cent and 10 cent soda pop.
Fluffy Bunny ] YA CAN REMEMBERING
The mooing cow on the Billboard featured silent screen star Buster Keaton.
That’s when it was the best time to be a kid.
Those were the days and times we knew memories rolo mounds rocky road

morlockmeat - Yup. You can find them online at Amazon, and Party City sells a two-piece mini version.
Ha! Cool! Thanks!
Right on, Fred! I haven’t thought about Hot Shots for decades! So tickled that you found the commercial!
Sometimes you feel like a nut...
Candy bars were HUGE big, thick, rectangles, like pillows! Hollywood Bar, Milkshake, Chicken Dinner - without the crappy bizarre additives we have today; they hadn’t been invented yet 😝

pastorearl1 2:38 Interesting retro Almond Joy ad with a pic of the current wrapper at the end. :?
Peter Paul was a candy company that was bought out by Cadbury in the early 70's and then Hershey around about 1978.
The Peter Paul name still appears on the back of the wrapper even though Mounds and Almond Joy are now made by Hershey.
I never liked Hershey's milk chocolate much, but LOVE the Symphony bar. We got some real German chocolate, compared taste to Symphony, and foud Symphony surprisingly better.
My mom's favorite candy bar was the Uno bar.
I also have a recipe for Fifth Avenue, very close.

I especially liked the obscure stuff here... Neat.
I started singing "Charlie says..." without even thinking about it.

You can lose weight with Ayds.
TimelordR. Ayds didn't have a 'bad reputation', just an unfortunate name....which is not to say the stuff worked-- one of my relatives went through boxes of it with no noticeable effect.
I read somewhere the stuff tasted like you were eating OraGel

You're welcome, Ambrose. In the '70s I found maggots in my Hershey bar.
Ambrose Wolfinger there are rat hairs, droppings and insect parts as well in food today. Especially in anything with nuts, grain or fruit.
I REMEMBER EVERY WORD, BEAT, & CARTOON DETAIL of that fab GOOD&PLENTY Spot!!! Soooooo Heartwarming!!
Thank you Fred💚
🌸Love My Good'nPlenty!!🌼
Loved the old classic candy commercials !
"Lose weight with Ayds". Has a totally different meaning now.
7:45- 1962, featuring Buster Keaton.
Hey big bro! How many licks does it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll? I guess the world may never know! Lol!!! Damn, I miss that commercial! Thanks Fred! Next time you look in the mirror say to your reflection "Yeah, I'm the man" Mr. Nostalgia!
OK, Curtis, that'll be better than what I USUALLY say!
Well I hope it's usually good big bro.
Curtis Viney -Whoever came up with that ad is an absolute genius.
I remember Kits Taffy squares, 4 pieces for a penny!
After all these years, we still do not know how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Roll Pop.
It's on a "need to know" basis.
Three!
Love commercials from every decade ! Loved the old candy commercials the best !
I remember when candy bars were 5 cents

So, this isn't going to be a healthy day !
I don't remember the candy called No Jelly. It must not have lasted long
At some point the almonds must have disappeared from 5th Avenue--b/c I'm 55 and ate them for years and don't remember them being on there.....?
They used to have them on top . But in the late 80s or early 90s they quit doing that so I never ate one again.
rkdvideo they're are my fav candy bar I never knew they had almonds

@@vividwatch47 Avoid Hershey's completely, if you can. Even their chocolate bars now taste like--what, a bar of shortening?
I really like the videos fredflix does why'd these days disappear from us o G-d please bring them back
I wonder if anyone remembers chocolite or aero bars. The closest thing they have to that today is the Hershey aerated bars. Love them.
Kathleen Collins The Aero bars haven't been available in the U.S. since 1937-1939, unless you shop a store that sells a lot of Canadian imports. :)
Kathleen Collins - you can buy them on Amazon as an import.

that Milky Way commercial with the hand signal xDDDD

The voice on the Chunky commercial sounded like the legendary William Schallert.
Alan Oldham I do believe you are right about that! RIP William Schallert (1922-2016).
That was Mason Adams, an actor who did tons of voice over work for decades. In the late 70s, he played Charlie Hume on LOU GRANT.

Arnold Stang was the original guy.

It's been forever since I saw that old Lifesavers commercial. The Hot Shots one was pretty wild, too, tho I don't remember it.
I don't buy candy bars any more but Chunky was always my favorite
Thank You for this awesome vid! 🍬🍭🍫
Not mentioned here, but does anyone remember sin-sins? I had them in the 60s, they had a very unusual flavor, little small hard candy squares, groved on the flat sides, you bout them by the quarter pound, I loved them.
I remember them! Loved them!
Sen Sen breath fresher ❤
damn.. I want a Snickers now!! :) "No Jelly" has to be the dumbest name for a candy bar ever.. wow!
Robby Benson and Donny Most in the Reese's ad at 11:41.
@Sean Wilkinson Next to no one -- it was a television commercial, not a documentary.
These spots were oh sooooo sweet!!
Never watch this when you're trying to diet! My mouth is watering, even for Good & Plenty which I disliked even when I was a kid.
Peter Paul mounds andxalmndcjoy are ad for the Charlie Brown tv specials. ahhh memories.
I love this!!! Especially delightful to see the Sour Bites ad, a candy I loved as a little kid but forgot about them (consciously) til now🥰;
Does anyone remember the candy that was basically a hollow (no caramel center) Rolo???
I loved the u got peanut butter in my chocolate and vise versa commercial for peanut butter cups .
I saw a video clip of Elvis Costello with Geraldo Rivera for 20/20 in 1977 they were in a supermarket (The A&P) and Geraldo was asking people at the supermarket what they thought of "Punk Rock" and the people there thought he was talking about "Pop Rocks" they said they liked to eat it, it was funny.
Good N Plenty was the worst tasting candy but I loved the theme song!
I ate that stuff by the box full when I was a kid. But I always liked black licorice. Did you ever try Good N Fruity?
Ah! You've never tried putting three or four Good n' Plenty into your mouth, then chasing it with a swig of Budweiser. I'm not kidding... it's amazing.
Lydia Lilli I only like strawberry licorice not black licorice which is what good n plenty was.
I loved Good & Plenty, but I’m weird that way. Liked Swensons black licorice ice cream too. ChooChoo Charlie was da man!
@@poetryjones7946 I think Black Licorice taste like tar soap smells.
Thank you again, Fred! These are great.
I'd give a buck for a Chunky,i loved those things.😊
The Allman Brothers Band were originally called The Allman Joys.Now i know there the name came from...
A lot of these can still be found on Amazon, and there are also retro Candy web sites.
Tgere used to be a candy called Fizz Wiz,they were tge same size as a Pez candy but you got twice as many in a pack,haven't seen them since 1981
No Jelly, but it had Vincent Price and even he couldn't sell it.
I love Vincent Price's vocal intonation. He was laughing up his sleeve the whole time. Just great.
I KNEW IT! I knew them talking, ambulatory m&m abominations were a part of the brotherhood!
Hail Sithis.
12:10 Now there's a Hershey's bar with Reese's pieces. The chocolate tends to melt too easily though. :(
Is it just me, or hav candy bars gotten smaller, or was it that our kid hands were just smaller?
Ha ha ha... I licked a Tootsie Pop one time to find out how many licks to get to the center! Tho... I've now forgotten how many it took! I know it was over 100 because I remember being surprised at that.
That's Dan Ingram of WABC fame doing the voice over for the Hot Shots commercial
When I was a kid and they said "Dan Ingram" on the Radio I thought they were saying "Dating Game".
Ricky Nelson should have stuck with the candy bars and laid off the cocaine.
What was the song played in that Bit O'Honey commercial? It must be copyrighted because the sound was off of it.
The sound is fine when I play it. Anyone else having trouble?
Brian Keller - That's the theory I came up with as well. Fred, mine doesn't play sound during that segment either. I thought it must be deliberate.
FredFlix - Yes that commercial plays with no sound.
Odd... the music played for me.
The music plays fine for me too.
Ricky Nelson with Ozzie Nelson narrating
At 3:51 starts the '70s Almond Joy/Mounds commercial. The female vocalist on that jingle sure sounds like Lynn Ahrens to me. She sang on School House Rock - Nouns: Person, Place or Thing. I could be wrong, but sure sounds like her to me.
I used to cash in a big coke bottle, get 10 cents and then buy two Chunky's !!
Tootsie Roll Pops ad is still on TV.
Since the Nixon Administration.
6:14.. sign me up for this one, fast!!
I can't find the original almond mars bars anymore. They were so great.
Mars bars are now renamed Snickers Almond.
I can’t find them either 😢
I remember a
Goobers and
Raisinets commercial that featured an astronaut.
Jingle writers were making some bank back then
I had m & m's. Still good!
When commercials were entertaining.....
Hot Shots appears to be a ripoff of Red Hots candy, produced by the Ferrara Pan Candy Company since the 1930's.
But they were MUCH hotter!🥵Even my older brother spat his out! For once, a commercial that did NOT exaggerate!🤯😄👍
Love it 😍
well, that was lovely, now to the comments, where i am certain no single product might have set off any one person.....
Hershey never advertised until 1970.
0:39 Oh, I know that chunkie that ate that Chunky.......
NEWMAN!
Hot Shots. I was just thinking of them.
wait....5th avenue use to have almonds on top? not all progress is good....sigh...
I used to be hooked on 5th Avenue bars back in the late 80's I would crave them.Kind of like a Butterfinger but better.I never seen one with almonds though, like in that commercial.
0:13 CHUNKYYYYYYYYYY!
9:21 Yeha, I,too, recognise Lee Phillips
Never heard of the No Jelly bar. Anybody ever seen them?
I did, while they lasted.
I liked them. They were like a variation on a Reese's bar, lighter and crispy.
