Jackson 5 & Post Cereals

For those who don't know, the Jackson 5 made commercials for Post cereals back in the 70s. Here's a collection of their commercials. I hope once the J5 cartoons come out on DVD, they'll put these commercials on there

Using "ABC" for Alpha-Bits is actually kind of genius

The Post cereals they've advertised

They also had blow-up messgaes (balloons) inside Honeycomb, bit I couldn't find a big enough picture of it.

I feel like awwwing over them the way I do over little kittens.....but here we are 40 years later and look what they're doing to their mother! But it's so hard to believe that I have seen 4 of 5 in person, and nearly saw the other...

Has anyone noticed Ralph (Michael Evans of Good Times) Carter was in one of those commercials?

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

If it were possible to keep some of those boxes intact for forty years, they would be nice collector's items especially with the album and blow-up balloon.
