@Nostalgia Canadiana Been on Dave's Archives for a long time, loved seeing all the great classic commercials that were aired then, as well as very fun local based commercials of which there were not a lot I noticed on Canadian based broadcast TV at least for the major networks until later on, plus he's just an incredibly great guy and funny as hell, but i'm also super stoked to see a Canadian based channel with even TO based content on it, much closer to home, thank you eh!?
11:09 - Almond Joy & Mounds - Made by Cadbury, under licence from Peter Paul, which had been making them in the USA since the 1920s (Mounds) and 1946 (Almond Joy).
