Toonfomercial: Archie shills for Pals vitamins (1969)

 In the best interests of equal time, after we located a Chocks commercial earlier, we have this rarity up next.

In answer to Chocks, Bristol-Myers, then the makers of Bufferin and Excedrin, came up with Pals vitamins for kids, which was the presenting sponsor of CBS' Archie & His New Pals primetime special in September 1969.

Here, Archie (Dallas McKennon, Daniel Boone) intros the main portion of the commercial. The little girl on the playset? That's a very young Erin Moran, who'd previously been on Daktari before hitting it big with Happy Days.


Unfortunately, Pals vitamins are not around anymore.
