It’s Not Nice To Fool Mother Nature!


Dena Dietrich played this character in Chiffon Margarine commercials in the early 1970s.

The first one was so successful that she did quite a few more for the rest of the decade.

This was the first one, with the legendary tagline, “It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!”

That’s Mason Adams as the announcer. 

He was famous for voicing the tag line: “With a name like Smucker’s, it has to be good” for Smucker’s jams and jellies. 

He voiced those for many years, in addition to many, many others. He also co-starred on the “Lou Grant” television series.

The “Mother Nature” commercial was so successful that Dena Dietrich did quite a few more.

Here are some from over the years:

1974

1977

1979

The Mother Nature commercials ran from around 1971-1979. 

In 2002 they stopped making Chiffon Margarine for the American market.
