Where To Watch
Only a Boomer can recognize all these brand names from the Sixties
What is being sold in these vintage ads?
Flipping through old magazines is a time machine. The articles are fascinating, for sure, but the advertisements are just as interesting in hindsight. In fact, the ads might be a better capsule of the time.
The following products were all featured in LIFE Magazine in 1966. Some of them lasted for decades — and even might be around today.
But most likely, you had to live through the 1960s to remember them. Or at least really know your pop culture. Good luck!

Looks like you had these right at the top of your head! Nice work!
Gotta say, I do not remember that Schlitz logo.

The two that I missed Were stupid Cooze, so it fits that I'd miss them. Time for me to go have a Pepsi.

I'm a Gen-Xer, yet I still got everything correct. But that's because I made a guess on some of them. With others, like Kelvinator, Tappan, Pan Am, and Hush Puppies, I already knew what they were. :)

10/12. Not a boomer, just a trivia feel.
10/12. Not too bad. Missed the Schlitz one. Also missed the Stardust casino one. I associate "Where The Action Is" to the Paul Revere and the Raiders TV show 😊. Fun.

The only one I missed was # 6, Old Grand-Dad. Never heard of them. But in my defense, I came from a dry family and I don't think booze could advertise on TV back then. Should have read LIFE magazine more often I guess.

Oh, yes, booze and cigarettes were common sponsors of TV shows in the 60s. But Old Grandad May have been a regional thing. I missed Wink...never heard of it.
Oops, missed #10. We had another name for Schlitz...can't print it here
But Schlitz had gusto
