1969 was a big year for America. We landed on the moon and experienced the most influential music festival of all time. But it was an even bigger year for breakfast. Jimmy Dean introduced a better quality sausage. Without his extraordinary vision, mornings over the past 50 years would have been a lot less exciting. To celebrate that, we’re hijacking other famous 50ths throughout the year to both honor them as well as remind everyone that Jimmy Dean sausage was there too.

For the two biggest anniversaries, we recreated iconic photos so we could extend the scene and have someone actually eating Jimmy Dean during this amazing milestone. Everything from the mission control terminals to the music stage were built by hand to the exact specifications of the originals. By matching the camera angle of the actual photo, we were able to seamlessly extend the moment making it feel as authentic as possible.
