That Time The Rolling Stones Did A Rice Krispies Commercial

rolling-stones-rice-krispies

It’s 1964 and Kellogg’s needs to sell some crisped-rice cereal. So, who better to handle the jingle duties, than the greatest rock band ever?

The Rolling Stones rocked out in this spot for Rice Krispies. Written by late member of the band, Brian Jones, the commercial only ran in England.

The Rolling Stones Have a Whisky Now

The Rolling Stones, of ‘the greatest rock and roll band ever’ fame, were formed fifty years ago this year. So, it only seems appropriate that the band should get their own booze — with Motörhead and Slayer already in the liquor business and all.

Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Whisky is being released by Japanese liquor brand Suntory to help celebrate the milestone. The tongue logo-adorned bottle will be available in limited release (150 bottles) starting October 30th, and is a blend of malts distilled and casked during years that represent milestones throughout the band’s 50 year history.
