The footballers, in old school uniforms, exploding from a dainty rose background. The expressions on their faces. The shading on the hand lettered slab caps. So great in so many ways.

We regret the error. Great find by Mark Michaelson, author of Least Wanted. The comments are good too.

The theme of the early Mountain Dew ads is that it was the juice that kept rascally hill folk perked up enough to go prospect, slaughter pigs, and toil in the hills of destitute poverty. Other tag line: “It’ll tickle your innards!”
