Celebrity Ads: Breakfast Edition

If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then these are surely some of the most important vintage celebrity ads you’ll ever see.

Elizabeth Montgomery sold Quaker’s Diet Frosted Flakes. Mmm… Nummy.

Andy Griffith wanted you to buy Post Toasties Corn Flakes.

Groucho Marx thought Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes were Gr-r-reat!

Howdy Doody, Buffalo Bob, and that other guy (whose name escapes me) were all about the Rice Krispies.

In 1977, Florence Henderson was concerned about preventing scurvy with Tang.

Betty White sold Lusianne Coffee in 1966.

Fred McMurray wanted you to have another V8.

Anita Bryant didn’t care what brand of juice you drank, as long as it was Florida orange juice.

Bill Bixby and Brandon Cruz, from The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, peddled Special K.

In 1970, Shirley Jones and David Cassidy starred in this Partridge Family style ad for Rice Krispies. Wake up like Keith!
