You know how it is: Every so often, you Google a phrase to see whether a favorite topic has turned up information, whether it's to learn whether Alice Troughton is related to Patrick Troughton (she's not his daughter) or whether there's a chance that a favorite commercial from the past is posted somewhere.

And I'm delighted to report that a website posts a series of vintage commercials that opens with something I've been looking for for some time: the original New Country Corn Flakes animation-and-live-action combo. Don and I used to dash into the room to see this whenever we heard the introductory chicken call. We never figured out who did it (though we suspected the Jay Ward crew), but it made us laugh every time. And, by golly, we certainly remembered the name of the product when we were in the grocery store.

Other commercials of interest for one reason or another are in the medly, but I leave it to you whether you watch them all. I'm just saying you owe it to yourself to click on that link, crank up the volume (unless you're in an office, in which case use your discretion), and enjoy the next 60 seconds.
