La Preferida Foods With Harry Caray (Commercial, 1980)

What comes to mind when you think of Harry Caray? If you said Mexican Food products, you'd be correct! Here's a commercial for La Preferida Foods featuring the late, great Sox and Cubs broadcaster.

(Remember, "La Preferida" backwards is "Adireferp Al")

Question for everyone: "If you were a taco, and you were starving, would you eat yourself?" I know I would!

This aired on local Chicago TV early Saturday, September 20th 1980.

Who would agree with me in saying that Chicago had the two greatest pitchmen in the history of sports; Michael Jordan of course and Harry Caray.

Spr463: I would agree that Michael Jordan is an incredibly affective figurehead for product advertisement, but he doesn't say a lot during his commercials.

In the case of Harry, by the time he was making his "Cub Fan, Bud Man" commercials he came across as quite distant and slow (and was rarely pressured to speak in taped-for-broadcast commercials). I am quite pleasantly surprised by how well Harry performs in this commercial. He seems quite together.

May not be Falstaff Beer,but it's still classic Harry!

As you can tell from some of the old play-by-play clips on this site, Harry was among the best broadcasters in sports before his stroke. It's sad that some people remember him only as the slow, colorful old man he was in his later years.

That's awesome that Harry says "Holy Cow! What a meal" with a mouthful of tostadas.

In terms of baseball announcers famous for commercials, there was the case of 1957-98 WPIX Channel 11 (New York) Yankees announcer Phil Rizzuto, who for many years was the ad spokesman for The Money Store. YouTube has many examples of such ads from the 1970's into the '80's.

Aw man, Harry Caray shouldn't have been talking with his mouth full.

I remember on Saturday they played concerts of New Wave artists (or I assume they were all New Wave since that's the ones I saw). I used to watch You Can't Do That On Television and this day I still use the one line about starving kids in Japan because they won't eat for a few hours. I grew up in Hazel Crest and we had a split Nick/ARTS channel.

As of late, I think Richard Blade is still on First Wave, only it's now on Sirius/XM Channel 33.

Somebody should have told these guys the real reason why Cronkite was called "Ol' Iron Pants." :-)

Or as the Trib's Gary Deeb called her, "Terry 'Disco' Murphy", for the kind of stories she usually reported on...

I bought my first Zenith about that time - but I went for the 25" model (just over $600.00, or about $100.00 less than what my first VCR cost a year before).

I thought she looked and sounded a bit like Andrea Martin - or her prettier sister (no, not Edna Boil).

Geez. Try to teach a kid math with that today and his reaction would probably be @o.oo
