This should bring back a memory or two: Oscar Mayer Commercial-1973

Thanks for the commercial!

Hard to believe that little guy is probably about 40 now

I had an apartment in Madison back in the 70's near the Oscar Meyer factory. When the wind was just right the smell of what seemed like old bologna used to penetrate the air. I couldn't eat lunchmeat for years after smelling that.

Wow, does that commercial take me back.

My maiden name was Wiens, and my brothers and I endured a lot of teasing in school.

I'm glad you enjoyed the commercial - it has been my favorite Oscar Mayer Commercial since the first time I saw it.

Tina-Kate, I also found it hard to believe that little guy is now around 40 years of age. I wonder how he feels about that commercial, now that he is older?

Cindy, I can see how you and your brothers were a target for the cruelty of children. Kids can be down right hateful at times!

Ellen, I know what you mean about the smell of old bologna coming from the Oscar Meyer Factory - not at all a pleasant smell.
