Madonna signed a $5 million contract with Pepsi when they used her and her song LIKE A PRAYER in their commercial that only aired ONCE and for which Madonna was PAID IN FULL. Pepsi pulled the "controversial" ad.

The stars of Bewitched did commercials for their main sponsors, Chevrolet and Quaker Oats.

In fact, there was a great commercial for Chevy with Elizabeth Montgomery, Dick York and Agnes Moorehead opposite Lorne Greene, Michael Landon, Dan Blocker and Pernell Roberts of Bonanza. Unusual in that not only were the two shows on different networks, but one was a sitcom, and one was a western drama.

Nobody's mentioned the ads that Bill Cosby did for Jell-O for many years. I remember those ads when I was little in the early 1990s.
