I think they were from the same company (General Mills, I think it was?) that put out Count Chocula and Frankenberry (and Boo-Berry, and Fruit Brute).

Oh yes, I remember those phone booths with the glass door. I tell my little sister about those phone booths and that I actually used them in the late 70's early 80's and she is quick to tell me " Damn, your old". I was 15yrs old when my little sister was born. Anyway, these commercials really took me back to my childhood. Thank you for sharing.

True, yet the first and third commercials advertise two products that contain substances that have become the bane of modern-day diets. Refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup, empty carbs, etc have contributed to the obesity epidemic we now face-granted it’s not the only factor. Imagine what we’d look like if we didn’t consume this crap for the last 50 years? (Again, I realize it’s not the only contributing factor.) As for myself, I quit consuming this garbage, started focusing on healthy eating, and focused on portion control. I also exercise 4-5 times a week-weight training, calisthenics, yoga, swimming, cycling, and HIIT cardio. In the last 16 months, I’ve lost almost 50 lbs, greatly cut body fat percentage, and increased muscle mass and strength. All at 47 years old. Insofar as hair color... well, that’s a whole other issue... actually, non-issue. 😆 Choose wisely ‘Merica!
