Toonfomercial: Snoopy & Woodstock for A & W (1989)

 The characters from Peanuts have been used in advertising for Ford, Millbrook bread, Dolly Madison pastries, Cheerios, and MetLife insurance. 

Here, then, is a relatively obscure A & W ad from 1989 starring Snoopy & Woodstock (vocal effects by Bill Melendez), demonstrating how to make a root beer float.


It's too bad A & W's own mascot, Rooty the bear, has not been seen in animated form that we know of, which would actually make this more appropriate, considering the folks at A & W poked fun at the imbroglio between Mars Wrigley and Fox No News, as discussed earlier at The Land of Whatever. Like, can we schedule an appointment for Tucker Carlson with a Dr. Van Pelt?
