I then found the actual commercial in Real Audio format, and thought you might like to have it, since you mentioned on your site that it's your favourite. :) Here it is: http://www.govst.edu/users/gaskrau/puffa.htmlThanks so much, Andrea!

A special letter....
Hello, Robin.
I am really enjoying your site! It is visually beautiful and great fun, great memories. Thank you for doing it! It's a great job.
I was in a TV commercial when I was 7. My mother and sister were the stars. That was 1968.
It was a Grape-Nuts commercial. It ran all the way to 1970, because it was so popular. Remarks about it continue. For example, Mystery Science Theater 3000 uses a line from it in their shows. "Kentucky Fried Movie," featured a skit about it, as well.
There is a new site as an archive of the commercial. Check it out. You may remember it. If you like it, maybe you could link to it from your site, both in the 60s and 70s sections, because it was on the tube in both decades.
Enjoy my memories!
