ANNOUNCER (V. O.)

(orotund and unctuous)

Say, Mom, your family’s counting on you!  They’re counting on you for something yum-yum good at suppertime.

ANNOUNCER (CONT’D, V. O.)

Something that will make up for the drudgery of the workaday world of work and the failures of the schoolday world of school.

ANNOUNCER (CONT’D, V. O.)

Before you start frying that chicken, better stop a moment and think!

ANNOUNCER (CONT’D, V. O.)

Is the same old thing going to warm the cockles of their hearts?  Or will you see long pusses all around the table, wearing that “chicken again?” look?

ANNOUNCER (CONT’D, V. O.)

Bring a little sunshine into their miserable lives . . . serve clams, steamed, baked, fried . . . or just as they are in their own handy shells.

ANNOUNCER (CONT’D, V. O.)

Clams . . . the chewy snack in the sturdy pack.

You'll find more swell ideas from Candi Lee here.
