FrankenBerry and Sugar Bear tv commercials from 1972

A long lasting icon and mascot of Post cereals, Gerry Matthews provided the original voice for Sugar Bear which feature qualities similar to Dean Martin's. He portrayed a shallow eyed, easy going character. I always thought he sounded like Bing Crosby. You may recongize the blonde haired boys' voice. Peter Robbins did the voice for Charlie Brown.

Too bad they rarely bring these guys out anymore besides around Halloween at the supermarkets. Back then it seemed like those days would never end!

haha, its funny to listen to everyone talk about how great it was back then "golly, we cant get cheap, cheap toys that dont take any thinking power at all to come up with like that anymore. Those were the days when you could get ripped off and fill yourself with sugar so we dont have teeth in the future." lol just joking of course.

Boy, it didn't take much back then to make us kids happy. Just a cheap toy and a ballon.
