A collection of US commercials for products you can no longer buy. Forgive me if there's any mistakes.
Sometimes the brand is still around but the exact product is gone (such as with "Futurama" lipstick by Revlon), sometimes both the product and brand are gone (such as with "Tip Toni"). Some only exist in-name-only, while at least one product is no longer available in the US but is still sold in another country.
The commercials are mainly from the 1950s, along with some from the 1960s and a couple from 1949. (note: this upload has too much digitial compression. I advise downloading it instead of viewing it online. Also note that volume is inconsistant). I hope somebody out there enjoys this upload.

These are just awesome commercials. As a pc video enthusiast back to '89, I had not seen most of these, thanks for posting. The '57 DeSoto commercial just rocks. Juxtaposed to an Edsel commercial-genius!

These are truly "original" in that most of them are not in any commercial collection I have seen. Mr. Uploader: Did you put this together? If so, great job!
