their tag always felt vaguely unsettling to me
It definitely made a big impression for any kid who saw those commercials back then. It's why I did a youtube seach for "We're Beatrice"
Always felt strange when I heard the "we're Beatrice" thing. I remember watching these commercials at like 8 and 9 years old and kinda getting freaked out every time I heard it lol.
Growing up in the 80's I have always wonder what or who the heck is "Beatrice". Their commercials ran constantly during the 1984 summer Olympics when it was aired on ABC.
"We're Beatrice. And we're sending RoboCop to persuade you that, dead or alive, you're coming with us."
I remember Beatrice products used from 1984 through 1987. Beatrice did put out Tropicana, Peter Pan peanut butter, Fisher peanuts, Hunt’s Ketchup, Rusty Jones, Hunt’s Manwich sloppy joes, Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn, Swift sausages, Samsonite luggage’s, and Culligan waters. Unfortunately, all of the Beatrice products are bought out by multiple companies including Pepsi which now owns Tropicana, ConAgra which now own Peter Pan, Rusty Jones which is now defunct, Swift sausages which is now own by JBS USA Holdings, Samsonite is still Samsonite, Hunt’s which is now own by ConAgra, Fisher nuts is own by John Sanflippo & Sons, and Culligan is still Culligan.
One other thing: in between Beatice and Sanfilippo, P&G used to own Fisher Nuts.
Just about every brand marked by Beatrice was shown except Stiffel Lamps.
There's a lot of videos on Stiffel lamps, but finding one with the Beatrice logo at the end is difficult.

I just saw a commercial on Instagram for Viva lowfat milk...with this Beatrice ending and it threw me way back. My God, I havent seen this in ages...you could not escape 99.9% of the commercial back in the 80s without this creepy "We at Beatrice" tagline. They owned (own) everything! 😆
At first, I got sick and tired of hearing that goddamm "we are Beatrice" phrase at the end of most every commercial. But as more and more commercials had that phrase, I began to wonder what fucking multinational corporation was buying out so many companies! It was horrifying! Then, one day, all those little tags in the ads were just gone. Gone. Like, Beatrice finally got so goddamm big they didn't want anybody to know who owned every fucking thing under the sun.
Weren't they also the same corporation that said; "At Beatrice, we don't make the batteries, we make the batteries better?" (or something to that effect.
Where is Beatrice now?
I think "we make the batteries better" was BASF. Haven't heard from them in a while.
Last I checked, Beatrice relegated to the food _service_ business, rather than foodstuffs. They certainly learned the hard way that bigger *ISN'T* always better.
Beatrice went
Defunct ( only in the u.s ) in 1990,
Food giant conagra brands
Bought all of Beatrice's
Assets they owned at the time
Making conagra their eventual
Successor, however Beatrice still
Exists internationally
My father worked for Them in the 80's is a actual "Beatrice Foods" plant after they did this ot there ads people fot scared that they owned too much stuff and the Government broke them up
I hadn't heard of Beatrice, but I found this because of a mention in this Robocop featurette that the fictional Omni Consumer Corporation in that movie was reminiscent at the time of now somewhat creepy-sounding "We're Beatrice": czcams.com/video/y0wKesY9-J0/video.html
Or the Zik Zak Corporation from Max Headroom.
That tag at the end was the most annoying thing at the time. Kind of thing some Don Draper wannabe thought was a good idea but just annoyed people.
Rusty Jones: "I'll stay with your car, all year long, not even taking a coffee break!" - Yeah, right... You know how many "flake aways" I saw with that worthless rubberized undercoating brand sticker on the window back in the day?
Whose idea was it to call a car body treatment formula "Rusty"?
Rusty Jones went out of business due to Chapter 11 bankruptcy and Beatrice killed it. What a shame!
Wow; I think this is where my anti-commercialism stance started (and I was only eleven in 1984).
Oh, wow, me too! Iwas 4 yrs old when these ads started airing. These would freak me and my twin sister out. They were just so overwhelming. Like, okay, we get it, you're Beatrice, SHUT UP!!!
Beatrice is not anymore. It’s Conagra Foods. Beatrice used to slapped their name on commercials and products was just a crying shame.
Wow it's like they GlobalData the world Beatrice products that's scary 😶🌫️
Rusty Jones?
Rusty Jones went out of business in 1987 after filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Beatrice killed Rusty Jones and put the car company out of business.
@@Musicradio77Network Goodbye, Rusty Jones!
Somebody actually thought that tagline at the end was a good idea. No sense of aesthetics.
This is so uncringe
