Parkay brings back talking tub to TV commercials

OMAHA, Neb. ConAgra has brought back its Parkay “talking tub” to promote the spreadable, squeezable butter substitute, reports said.

A TV and Web commercial aired Monday featuring the personable spread. In a 15-second commercial, the Parkay tub moos and explains that a new version of Parkay is now made with nonfat milk, “for a fresh and creamy taste.”

The reintroduction of the talking tub comes just in time to commemorate its 25-year birthday. The first Parkay talking tub TV commercial aired in 1973.
