Yep- remember that little steam engine that was on a roller coaster on Saturday morning TV- remember my Oma giving me Good & Plenty because SHE liked them. Maybe that's why I love model trains and Sambuca today :-)
@trainsntile I know what you mean, My Grandpa used to buy Circus Peanuts in the Brach's bags when I was little, They are a orange peanut shaped marshmallow candy, They tasted awful in my opinion, but in order to not hurt his feelings, I would say Thank You and eat them anyway.
@SamuraiClinton Actually, I would guess that most public broadcasts in the 1960's were black and white. I remember this commercial on Saturday morning cartoons when I was kid and I was born in 1961. I remember a few color TV's around here in the late '60s but we didn't get one till the early 70's. Actually, I don't think this commercial is from the 50's, it may have been, but it was still around in the mid to late 60's.
This ad ran well into the 1960s. I wasn't born till 1963 and I remember seeing it on TV during cartoon shows in 1967-68 time frame. The candy was horrible, it was licorice flavored and (I realize now) more something that adults would like.
The first time I ever saw this was during 1998 on a Sunday morning (like 3am) on TV Land. I was in 5h grade at the time, and I wasn't used to being up that late (I think I just woke up for like 30 seconds-enough time to see this). I thought I imagined this for the longest time.
I loved this commercial and remember at least one other with the same characters. I used to wonder as a child why it made me think of Charlie Brown; only after finally seeing it again do I now see that was intentional, as Schulz was hot stuff in that period and this character style follows it *very* closely. ;
There was a cool color Good N Fruity commercial too with a cartoon rock group.
@devtrev "Worst candy ever?" It's licorice, pure & simple, with a hard candy shell.
I'm not sure it would qualify as the "worst candy ever." I think maybe those edible wax candies (like the wax lips available around Halloween time), or those "Circus Peanuts," even candy corn, might qualify as worse than licorice.
Actually, many people have fond memories of not only Good 'N Plenty, but shoestring licorice, the latter one of the classic "penny candy" items.
@gymnastix I stand by my statement - worst candy ever, with the possible exception of that weird "Grandma candy" - remember that candy that all Grandma's had in a bowl in their living room? What the hell was that stuff?
@devtrev And there is also cherry licorice, much more tasty than standard black.
There are a few, licorice-flavored alcoholic beverages--Jagermeister and Anisette, the latter even a popular flavor of cookie.
I recall "Good 'N Fruity" candy when I was a kid--multi-colored candies, really jelly beans in the shape of Good 'N Plenty. They were much tastier than Good 'N Plenty.
@BreyersaRS I love the commercial - it takes me back to my childhood. I still think they're horrible though. Good 'n Plenty is the red-headed stepchild of candy.
this is great. im not sure how i remember it, i was born in 1971, but i rescued a dog named charley( i did not name him that) and i have been calling him choo choo charley for the last couple of days, then i remembered the charley says love them good and plenty. and it dawned on me its a commerical lmao!
Cool vid.......my grandma remembers it's from when she was a little girl and love when I play it for her........realllllllly gotta teach her to use the Internet.........
@werewoflluva Your grandma...ah yes, a big commercial back in the 1890s...no, this first came out in the late 50s, then was slightly retooled and rerun in the 60s and 70s.
That's my cousin Carole (sh'e older than I) saying "Charlie Says!" in this commercial. She was also the little girl in the Little Red Spinning Wheel commercial, but I alas, can no longer find that one on You Tube!

My dad used to have a VHS tape that had old '50s commercials and stuff on it, including this, and I always remembered it. I was just now randomly singing it for my niece so I decided to look it up.
@jcjudge I vividly remember this commercial, but it must have been the early 60's. The other commercial I really remember is the one for Maypo cereal.
I remember a similar commercial in 1968...Choo-Choo Charlie for President, so kids will have a friend in government. When he wins, we'll all have lots of fun, and there'll be Good and Plenty candy for everyone!"
@swami1 - Try well into the 1990s, or even later! I remember this spot running well into my adulthood, and I was a kid in the 1970s (born 1964). It's like the animated Tootsie Pop commercial with the kid and the wise old owl from around 1971 that airs unchanged to this day, 40 years later.
swami1 wrote: Pretty sure this spot ran well into the 60s.
@ChickenRamen LOL...and my all time favorite. 50 something years old and I love them as much now as I did when I was a kid. Just wish they'd bring back the ORIGINAL Good'n'fruity
the jingle came from the tragic railroad song "Casey Jones" (that song is why we have 'time zones' today) he was trying to beat the clock and didnt know what time it was
Haven't heard this commercial in over 40 years...and remember it like it was yesterday. Funny thing, to this day it's STILL my favorite candy on earth!!
If this commercial originally came out in the 50s, it ran a long, long time, because I remember it from when I was a kid, which was the late 60s and early 70s. I also remember the dumb arguments about whether the pink ones were better than the white ones when actually they were exactly the same.
@RRaquello Lots of those old ads ran for many years. They didn't take them out of circulation too quickly. That Red Rose tea ad with the chimps dancing to swing music was shown from the early '60s until about 1970, for example. And don't forget the Tootsie Pop ad with the kid asking the zoo animals how many licks it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll in the middle. That's from about 1970 and they're still showing it today.
For those who didn't notice: the melody is from the old American folk song "Casey Jones", a song about a train wreck. Probably because they had a little kid all hopped up on sugar driving the train. My God! Where were the child labor laws? Oh, the humanity! (apologies to Clem McCarthy)
I remember everyone singing this Good And Plenty jingle on the school bus at around six years old, but the words had been changed and it was in this cold war verse: Once upon a time there was a Cuban queer, Fidel Castro was his name we hear, He has his country and he sure had fun With his bullets and his machine guns, To make his country run. Fidel says, "Love that Mr. Kruvschev" Fidel says, "Love that Mr. K. Fidel says, "Love that Mr. Kruvschev, Cuz he's gonna drop The Bomb On the U.S.A."
haha! my dad was laughing t this cuz he remembers it. he started singing along to it! i did too cuz my friend preformed the commercial in our 4th grade concert.
@Emily7up what bring you here btw? i was just wondering what i'd find after having the biggest craving for these. never cared for these growing up, but love licorice now. i wonder how pure these are..because if you want real licorice, candy shop's where it's at where there's real licorice.
Good and Plenty's were recently deemed to give off a smell that women preferred over the most expensive colognes. So chomp on a few G&P's for me wolves. I'm out of the game.
I first saw this on tv land back in the late 90s, when I was in 5th grade. I saw it at 3am on a Sunday. Needless to say it stuck in my mind but I isn't know what it said, what it advertised or anything. Don't see this for the first time at 3am!
And I don't understand the girl or the dog. Why are they there?
You are right about TV Land, all they show is a bunch of crap now! I like Good and Plenty. but you can hardly ever find it around here without it being old and hard so you can hardly chew it!
@ChristianTarsney - You don't understand, this is a cartoon. It is not real. It's really just an animated drawing. Obviously, no railroad would or could hire a child to be an engineer, nor any other job for that matter. Child labor laws forbid practices, such as that. Hope this information helps.
@adamkaboy - Most of us don't understand Hungarian. Would you please translate into English if possible? All I could understand was "Magyar" - my family actually had friends whose family name was Magyar, and that's how I found out that it meant "Hungarian."
@143AC TV Land shows newer shows than what is used to. Thank good ness it still airs All in the Family. TV Land is more or less what Nick at Night used to be.
@143AC - I don't know if you have this network around your place - it's called Antenna TV. It usually airs as a digital subchannel of a regular broadcast TV station, and is often available on cable as well. They are like TV Land used to be, but even better. I live in the Harrisburg, PA TV market, and it's aired on channel 43.2 (subchannel of WPMT, Fox43) over the air and on Comcast 247. Philly has it on 17.3 (subchannel of WPHL - MyPHL17) and on Comcast 252, as well as Verizon FiOS 463.
Does anyone remember a Good and Plenty ad from the early'70s which had a big G+P box w/ the big G+P candies walking out of the box waving around musical insturments and singing- also an Chicklets ad w/a man dressed in a large catterpillar suit handing out Chicklets to children? If these ads are out there please post-thanks!

Did anyone else do this at the matineemovies when you were little??
Buy a box of good & plenty and when you done you blow in the end of the box to make annoying whistling sounds. Those were good times...

I first saw this on tv land back in the late 90s, when I was in 5th grade. I saw it at 3am on a Sunday. Needless to say it stuck in my mind but I isn't know what it said, what it advertised or anything. Don't see this for the first time at 3am!
And I don't understand the girl or the dog. Why are they there?

You are right about TV Land, all they show is a bunch of crap now! I like Good and Plenty. but you can hardly ever find it around here without it being old and hard so you can hardly chew it!

They have a Railroad Engineer in charge of the IPCC, you know the "experts" on the Global Warming charade
Some are calling him Choo Choo Charlie

It's strange that a railroad would hire someone so young as an engineer.

@ChristianTarsney - You don't understand, this is a cartoon. It is not real. It's really just an animated drawing. Obviously, no railroad would or could hire a child to be an engineer, nor any other job for that matter. Child labor laws forbid practices, such as that. Hope this information helps.

@adamkaboy - Most of us don't understand Hungarian. Would you please translate into English if possible? All I could understand was "Magyar" - my family actually had friends whose family name was Magyar, and that's how I found out that it meant "Hungarian."

Norman Lear,MTM and now..God help us.."Home Improvement"Crappyola!

@143AC TV Land shows newer shows than what is used to. Thank good ness it still airs All in the Family. TV Land is more or less what Nick at Night used to be.

@143AC .....And they ruin the closing credits, which are VITAL to the show's continuity.
Happy New Year.

@143AC - I don't know if you have this network around your place - it's called Antenna TV. It usually airs as a digital subchannel of a regular broadcast TV station, and is often available on cable as well. They are like TV Land used to be, but even better. I live in the Harrisburg, PA TV market, and it's aired on channel 43.2 (subchannel of WPMT, Fox43) over the air and on Comcast 247. Philly has it on 17.3 (subchannel of WPHL - MyPHL17) and on Comcast 252, as well as Verizon FiOS 463.

Does anyone remember a Good and Plenty ad from the early'70s which had a big G+P box w/ the big G+P candies walking out of the box waving around musical insturments and singing- also an Chicklets ad w/a man dressed in a large catterpillar suit handing out Chicklets to children? If these ads are out there please post-thanks!

So Choo Choo Charlie uses Good and Plenty candy to make his train run. At least he doesn't have to depend on foreign oil to run it.
