Wang Computers 'David & Goliath' Commercial (1977)

Maybe the reason Fred the Baker was always so tired wasn't because he was making donuts but because he had a second life running a corporation.

I actually found that video while looking for this one.

No - Michael Vale played Fred the Baker (Dunkin Donuts) and Sam Breakstone (sour cream & cottage cheese) in ads for decades.

A different actor played Mr. Whipple
