Here, from some time in the sixties, is another one of those commercials that I saw eighty thousand times. In fact, I even went out and bought the product — Great Shakes, which promised to turn milk into a milk shake. It came with a little plastic shaker cup and there were little envelopes of powder. You used the cup to mix an envelope of powder into the milk and when you did, you discovered that Great Shakes were no great shakes. Not a great invention…but the jingle was great.
