Elvis and Southern Maid Donuts
Elvis did the only commercial of his life for any product on November 6, 1954, for Southern Maid Donuts. He sang their jingle. "You can get 'em piping hot after four PM, you can get 'em piping hot. Southern Maid Donuts hit the spot, you can get 'em piping hot after four PM". Nothing is known of Elvis's impact on Southern Maid Donut sales.

Actually, this is incorrect, he did not.Bob-Holland wrote:You already answered your own question:A1elvisfan wrote:Any other advertisements by The King?

Elvis also did a 1956 advertising photo shoot in Memphis, although it apparently did not run.

Re: Elvis in Advertisements
Some of the pics from this surfaced about 20 years ago in a book called "Elvis World"; does anyone know where we can find the complete set?

Re: Elvis in Advertisements
Did he not also do an ad campaign for the 1956 Elvis Presley Phonograph? Radio spots and print ads would indicate these were also commercials. This product was manufactured by RCA in conjunction with EPE I believe, but this should qualify as Elvis in Advertisements.
