Oh yes! Back then whose Charlie Brown specials ran on (then) CBS-TV in the 60’s, they were sponsored by both Dolly Madison and Coke-a-Cola. Ironically, the TV special called “You’re In Love, Charlie Brown!” first aired on the day I met Tink.
That does bring back memories. I’d forgotten that Charlie Brown was sponsored by Dolly Madison, but now that I think of it, those commercials did seem to be part and parcel with the show. And I remember how those commercials brought on an excited anticipation of the Charlie Brown special coming up.
Until I saw the Peanuts specials, I hadn’t heard of Dolly Madison, the snack or the first lady. I thought it was Dolly Medicine, for serving at your pretend tea parties. Dolly Madison has only had sporadic distribution in the Seattle area, and isn’t around here any more.

We had access to both Dolly Madison cakes and Tastykakes in our area….Tastykakes were much better, IMHO.

Never heard of Dolly Madison up here. It was likely Louis Vachon cakes in Canada. Yummy!
