Rare Treats: Remember the M & M's Man? (1970's)

Back in the 70's, M & M-Mars' ad agency concocted a series of ads that riffed on Sammy Davis, Jr.'s hit song, "The Candy Man" (From "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory", circa 1971). Meet the M & M's Man, a real Pied Piper of candy, if ya will......



And he even tagged along with the talking candies, Red & Yellow......



The animated clip has been brought back to set up a new ad campaign featuring the CGI versions of Red & Yellow, set to debut on Monday. Doesn't this bring back some memories?
