The Hilltop ad originally aired in 1971. I'm not completely sure, but I believe the below is a subsequent version (the original versions are much too grainy to post). This is the one I remember as a very small child. In fact, this is probably the earliest advertisement that halted viewers in their tracks. For the record, we did not watch the commercials out of necessity, because the remote control had not become ubiquitous yet. There were other things to do, like procure snacks, visit the restroom or talk; it was a simple time. No matter what was occurring, we dutifully watched this ad.
