In the early 80's, Kellogg's embarked on an interesting ad campaign for Corn Flakes. Suggesting that the average consumer could turn up on the front of the box, the punch line, if you will, had a famous face appearing at the end of the spot. The campaign began in 1981 with the likes of Mickey Rooney, Don Knotts (at the time on Three's Company), and, in this one from 1982, Tony Dow & Jerry Mathers from Leave it to Beaver, reprising their roles as Wally and Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver (while the vintage pictures appeared on the box front).
The poster got the date wrong on the ad, as the barely legible copyright date at the end states this was, in fact, 1982.
