Early Muppet Product Endorsements - Kermit was a tad edgier back then...

Happy Anniversary Kermit, Sesame Street Characters and Puppetmasters! God bless Jim Henson. Kermit the Frog , Miss Piggy , Gonzo , Fozzie Bear and the Muppet stars of Buena Vista Home Entertainment's The Muppet Show Sesame Street's 40th Anniversary "Sesame Street has always been one of the hippest places on the planet, and it promises to get even cooler in its 40th -- yes, 40th! -- season, premiering Nov. 10, 2009. "Sesame Street has won more than 100 Emmy Awards, more than any other television show in the United States." Here are a few little-known commercial endorsement clips from the Muppets' lean, hungry early years, before they discovered fame on Sesame Street.
