Commercial for Crisco vegetable shortening; Loretta Lynn places a just-baked pie on a window ledge; she comments that her pies can sometimes be liked better than her singing, but she notes that a pie has to be made right before “it turns out good,” which is why she uses Crisco, as it makes the pie crust flaky (Lynn demonstrates the flakiness on a piece of cherry pie); Lynn: “tastes better than a cold watermelon on a hot summer day!”; her companion asks for seconds, and she remarks that he hadn’t finished his first round; shot of can of Crisco and pie with male voiceover: “all vegetable, no cholesterol, Crisco!”
