This Alpha-bits commercial is from 1973, and features the original J5 goofing off and eating cereal in a park. I also came across another one featuring the Five in a bunk bed made to accomodate all of them. (Hint: It has a firemen’s pole.)

Besides eating a dog, it is also worthy to point out that Michael sings, “Fun with V, delicious D.” Watching it the first time, I passed over this message lightly, thinking to myself that all those VVVVs and DDDDs made absolutely no sense. I watched it again, stopped it and watched it a third time. VD: I doubt Alpha-bits was referencing the Swiss canton of Vaud. Was POST using the Jackson Five to send some sort of subliminal message about venereal diseases? Or am I going completely crazy?
