WILKINS INSTANT COFFEE CANNON SHOT
Not just a java ad but one of the first Muppet commercials. Jim Henson, 20 at the time, created spokespuppets Wilkins and Wontkins to push the product. The eight-second spot has a timely prescience: Wontkins carries a sign that reads "TV Anti-Violence League"; Wilkins blasts him with a cannon for not liking coffee. Clearly, Henson's delightful anarchism was brewing.
