Early 70's Ad Showing Matching Wallpaper & Floral Dress

In the 1970's, I guess it was really 'cool' if your dress even matched the wallpaper!

Beautiful floral print dress with high neck and smocked sleeves.

I like to coordinate my outfits too, sometimes; but maybe not this much! : )

BLUE JEANS COLOGNE GIFT SETS 70's AD

Blue Jeans cologne for women had a cute BlueJeans theme, with an embroidered floral design.

"Take it from someone who knows. Every girl wants Blue Jeans for Christmas."

"Blue Jeans is a pretty kind of cologne that makes me happy when I wear it... Just like my favorite pair of jeans!"

"I guess it's because BLUE JEANS cologne is fresh and young and soft ...yet full of wild excitement."

"That's why I love it!  It's kind of like me."

"Every girl you know would love it for Christmas too, especially in one of these great gift sets."

1970's FRITO-LAY MASCOT W.C. FRITOS

"Greetings My Little Chip-A-Dees!"

With the Frito Bandito 'retiring' in 1971, he was replaced by W.C. Fritos, modeled after 1930's era comedian and actor W.C. Fields.


Some of W.C. Fritos' famous bylines included: 

"Greetings my little chip-a-dees."

"W.C. Fritos here."    AND

"Anybody who love Fritos Corn Chips can't be all bad."

Some W.C. Fritos themed items in the 1970's included pencils, erasers, stickers, and even Valentine's Day cards.

At least we do still have 'The Greatest Chip in the World!'

THE FRITO BANDITO - RETIRED FROM TAKING FRITOS IN 1971

See/Hear the Song HERE

The Frito Bandito was the cartoon mascot for Fritos corn chips from 1967 to 1971. 

The Frito Bandito campaign included a song sung to the tune of the well-known traditional Mexican song "Cielito Lindo":

Ay, ay, ay, ay! oh, I am dee Frito Bandito. I like Frito's Corn Chips. I love them, I do. I want Frito's corn chips. I'll take them, from you.

Later ads used an alternate verse:

Ay, ay, ay, ay, oh, I am the Frito Bandito. Give me Frito Corn chips and I'll be your friend. The Frito Bandito you must not offend.

The character was voiced by Mel Blanc, who used an exaggerated Mexican accent not unlike another character of his, Speedy Gonzales. 

The Frito Bandito spoke broken English and robbed people of their Frito corn chips, a reference to the “Mexican bandit” stereotype in western movies. 

He also complained that he was being pursued by the “Frito Bureau of Investigation.”  (wikipedia.com)

Original Fritos - still available & still the best Corn Chip out there:

Munch, munch, munch a bunch of Fritos Corn Chips!
