80's Commercials Vol. 12

Here are some kid-oriented commercials that aired during the afternoon cartoon block on KBHK TV 44 from around 1987 to 1988.

1. Cinnamon Toast Crunch (With all three Bakers!)
2. Cinderella 976 Number (This looks so cheap and trashy. These things basically exploited the fact that kids would dial the number without asking)
3. Fruit Roll-Ups and Fruit Wrinkles (Strawberry Fruit Wrinkles were awesome! Notice they're made by Fruit Corners and not Betty Crocker)
4. Dino-Riders (This is awesome! "Look out for the traaap!")
5. Captain Power Videotapes (This looks both awesomely cool and incredibly stupid at the same time)
6. Pudding Roll-Ups (Pudding in disguise! Pretty sure that Seth Green is in this one!)
7. Frosted Flakes (Contrary to "Teen Wolf", I don't think growling at your opponents is an effective basketball strategy)
8. Trix (The Rabbit needs a name!)
9. Snickers (Least convincing guitarist ever)
10. Powermaster Transformers (I love the announcer here. Find out in Marvel Comics!)
11. Kool Aid (Oh Yeah!)
12. Cheerios (I hate it when Yeti Mountains steal my cereal!)
13. Trix (So that contest was all for nothing? What the hell? Why can't the little bastards just give him the cereal already?!?)
14. Lucky Charms (Leprechaun on a roller coaster!)
15. Pop Tarts (Exploiting sexy teenagers for the sale of toaster pastries is not cool!)
16. Hot Wheels (I love the look of amazement from skeptic kid)
17. Fruity Marshmallow Krispies (Hell yes! That's Fred Savage telling jokes at the end, obviously. Next person who points this out gets their post removed)
18. Purr-tenders (They made some very strange stuffed animals in the 80's)
19. Promo for "Explorers"

if you help name the Trix rabiit you get 4 free markers? Nowadays it's like $25,000...

@EpicSmartAss They had plenty of cash/shopping spree giveaways back then. This just wasn't one of them.

@SouthwesternEagle Perhaps then, you shouldn't make statements like "These don't really "feel" like 80's commercials" without having a basic understanding of what 80's commercials "feel" like.

@bobafunky I don't understand how anybody could think that advertising hasn't changed in 30 years. Have you actually watched TV these days?

Oh wow I was just thinking the other day about my captain power ship/gun thing. I never had the tapes though I don't think. And is it just me or are today's commercials just lame after watching this lol

Oooookkkkkkkkkkkkk, that Cinderella commercial is a ploy to gear up kids for 1-900 numbers later in life??

I can remember some of the commercials as if they had aired yesterday, but others are a complete mystery to me.

I remember Friut Wrinkles! Fruit Corners was a small fruit snack company that was brought by General Mills in 1988, Betty Crocker is the parent company of General Mills. Yeah, I remember those dumbass 1-900 party lines for kids. Thank God no kid I knew was that gullible. LOL a VHS game. What a piece of shit no wonder Radio Shack and Hasbro scrapped plans for a VHS console.

It sounded like they said ``Lots of Fruity Marshmallow Shit'' at 8:10. I remember the Oliver and Company Purr-tenders they gave away at McDonalds.
