Of course they were, they hunted to survive. People of today hunt as a sport and to put some game on the table if we actually get anything.
They don't really get into the subject matter or products of the company until it's too far into the commercial and even then, there is a complete transition away from the restaurant scene, so it's easy to miss the connection
Someone used to do a study every year on the worst commercials--from a strictly sales POV.
It seems that commercials that repeated their sales message over and over were successful while most of the artsy/craftsy, funny and message commercials didn't sell. People loved the latter, but they bought from the former.
In 1979, Nissan had a commercial that I found particularly irritating, blasting over and over, "NEW NISSAN SENTRA..YOU NEED THI CAR!"
I hated it. When time to purchase a new, economical car however (I lived in California at the time) I bought what else? A Nissan Sentra.
I'm a Jeep gal now, and I love their commercials.
Let's not forget about the atlatl !!
