it is so awful and ignorant when people use something popular and reverse-engineer it to make something different. like this video. the flintstones was a great cartoon for kids. why did they have to make a cigarette commercial out of it? that is stupid. they want to make kids start smoking?

@windson7 i think you may have misunderstood what you are seeing. this was not reverse engineered in any way. this is the original footage aired during the Flintstones. when you see this it is important to remember that it was aired during an era when the harmful effects of smoking were not at all publicized.

I remember being 5 years old and arguing with my friends about which was the coolest cigarette to smoke from all the TV ads. I chose Kent, with the micronite filter....still smoke'em 50 years later.

I remember watching the Flintstones when I was a kid back in the early 60'S. I didn't remember the Wintson

commerical, but know wonder we all smoked. We had an appetite for smoking before we even tried it, be beign so bundarded by the tobacco companies.

Wow.

I'm sure though, cig's tasted differently then. But probably worse.
