Kind of a scary ad for a toy for little kids.

Maybe they should have used a voice over actor who didn't sound so creey.

Why food markets only? I'd have thought department or toy stores would be a natural.

Awesome! these were so cool. Does anyone remember the car dashboard one that was also only available in supermarkets?

I got one for Christmas and it sat in our Harrisburg, PA basement until about 1971. I lobbyed parents hard for the Jimmy Jet--surprised the original supermarket price was $7.77. I thought it cost $13.

My parents threw it out because I had taken it apart to see how it worked. So simple. A light bulb inside a rotating plastic cylinder painted with aerial map, the plastic plane positioned over cylinder steered by the wheel and covered by a screen.

Fascinating back in the 60s! Loved it!
