They REALLY wanted children to drink V8 for BREAKFAST? Why not just drink Campbell's tomato soup straight out of the can? Hey! Let's have Liver and Onions for Breakfast! What were they thinking?!!
Did you check out the address you had to send your shit to? It was still about 3 years before zip codes came into existance. Just love this stuff, I was 13 when this commercial appeared.
Nowadays, that toy would never see the light of day; let alone be in a cereal box. After all, those small pieces might choke a child who's so-called parents are too busy doing everything but watching their children. Welcome to the age of stupidity. At the rate we're going, in 20 years bicycles will be banned from children because of the inherent danger. Little Billy won't be able to do anything other than play video games; while stuffing his lard ass with junk food.
Can you say "Choking Hazard" ? LOL But seriously I never got anything even close to that cool. It may have something to do with the fact that I think the box that Cheerios comes in would have more flavor than the actual Cheerios.I wonder if I wrote to them if I would get my own rocket? Hmmm...
@MrItsmedudes When I was a kid, Cheerios always came with toys that promoted the latest Disney movie, such as a Love Bug propelled by a rubber band, or a "Computer that wore tennis shoes" walky* toy (*Toys that sort of wobbled across a table, thx to a weighted string....they always stopped at the edge of the table)
Here we see a nightmarish and tragic treatise on the futility of mankind's ambitions, as the anguished astronauts are put through the horrific experience of their craft exploding in mid-space, and their traumatic landing upon a dusty rock where nothing grows and a slow, mournful death is all to look forward to.
V8 a "treat"... Ick V8 is so nasty! I remeber when I was little my mom trick me into trying it for the first time saying it was pop. I hated it!! I ran for the trash can saying "this is NOT POP!!!"
I was about 8 when this came out. I can tell you, the synergistic, tasty and delightful combo of V-8 and Cherrios was a tough one to beat. Back then, the only thing better for breakfast was scrambled eggs fried up in about 3 inches of old bacon grease.
Wow! There was actually a free kit to an exciting game to land on the moon with a space rocket..!! But I wonder how it could be used for having both a V8 and a Box Tops from any cereal..??
Yeah, there's something very disconcerting about that toy. Breaking apart in orbit and dropping two poor astronauts on the moon doesn't seem like good clean wholesome fun to me.
lol the toy was shit , now i know why there are loads of fat people now a days , they all went to macdonalds coz the toys were betta in the happy meal
fromtheside: That's 'cause when the different types of 'Cheerios' came out--regular, honey nut, frosty, & strawberry--each had their own mascot. The longest lasting ones were the Cheerios Kid ([along with "girlfriend" Sue] who lasted 'til the 1990's) for regular Cheerios and Buzz the Bee (who is still used presently) for the honey nut branch. Back in the day, regular & honey nut Cheerios merged & became "Team Cheerios" (which makes me think that Kid & Sue and Buzz all share the same space).
Perhaps that's why Campbell Soup and General Mills never "collaborated" on another offer like this again, 'looker'. Cheerios (in milk) and V-8 are definitely NOT the best combination to have at breakfast....
Frosty O's were the forerunner of what we now know as "Frosted Cheerios." Of course now, if they remade that commercial, they'd have to say "one box top from Cheerios, Frosted Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Apple Cinnamon Cheerios, Fruity Cheerios, Yogurt Burst Cheerios..." (did I forget any other variety?) LMAO!
Good question; my parents' breakfast table probably included for their pre-schooler: Cocoa Puffs, Cocoa Krispies, Krispy Kritters and the occasional Frosty-O's. Yep, those breakfasts made me what I am today (whoah, Nellie...whatever that is).
Thumbs up If u did this eating cheerios
