Colgate - "The Colgate Comedy Hour"
Chevrolet - "The Dinah Shore Show"
Ford - "The Tennessee Ernie Ford Show"
Seven-Up - "Zorro"
General Mills- "Rocky & His Friends," "King Leonardo," "Bullwinkle," "Tennessee Tuxedo," "Underdog"
General Foods - "The Bugs Bunny Show," "Linus the Lionhearted"
Kellogg - "Huckleberry Hound," "Quick Draw McGraw," "Yogi Bear"
Mattel - "Funday Funnies," "Beany & Cecil"
Ideal Toys - "Magilla Gorilla," "Peter Potamus"
Kraft - "Kraft Music Hall," "Kraft Theatre"
Texaco - "Texaco Star Theatre"

Taco Bell was owned at the time by Pepsi, and Mug Root Beer was also a Pepsi product. This show used various Pepsi products and possessions in its name as a throwback to the single-sponsor days, but I do not think that the individual shows had all their ads for the same product.
