Vintage Miami: 1983 Velvet Creme Doughnuts Commercial
Take a sweet trip back to February 1983 with this classic television commercial for Velvet Creme Doughnuts, a legendary Miami institution.
The ad features the "foremost experts in donut-ology"—the owner's children, Matthew and Allison—who explain why Velvet Creme is the top choice in South Florida. From the use of pure vegetable shortening to their presence in local supermarkets and their iconic shop locations in Coral Gables and Miami, this clip is a wonderful piece of local history.
