Summary

It’s part two of our episode that revisits the very first commercials ever produced for famous products. From the very first commercial for something called the Big Mac, to the first TV ad for a new doll called Barbie, we take a trip back in time.  Including the very first commercials starring a couple of struggling actors who would go on to win Academy Awards.  We know you want to listen to all the ads in this show.
