Chung King - Elevator Ride commercial

This vintage commercial uses a humorous elevator ride to challenge the monotony of traditional American meal planning. As an eccentric passenger questions the social norms of elevator etiquette and the predictability of everyday dinners like spaghetti and meatballs, he encourages his captive audience to break their culinary habits. He playfully suggests introducing some variety into their weekly routine with a delicious, light, and easy-to-prepare canned oriental dish like chow mein from their local grocer.
