This week’s Nostalgicon is “Punchy” the Hawaiian Punch man! Punchy was brought to life in 1961 by ad agency Atherton-Privett and appeared in his first 20 second commercial in 1962. In the spot, Punchy, Hawaiian Punch in hand and what has yet to be determined as a straw hat on his head, asks another character, Oaf if he would like some Hawaiian Punch.

Oaf accepts, but only to meet Punchy’s fist in the face!
