That doesn't make the loss of Hydrox any less sad.

When a familiar product or brand name, you've grown up with disappears, it can be a sad thing. Movin' On jeans from Levi Strauss for example.

Funny Face fruit drink mix is another example.


And a couple of racist ones


And a couple I never saw

I guess cultural sensitivity was starting to creep in by the mid-70s. I remember them as "Jolly Olly Orange" and "Choo-Choo Cherry".

The site where I got the images Funny Face site has Injun Orange and Chinese Cherry as the originals for 1964-1965 and Choo choo Cherry and Jolly Olly Orange as replacements in 1966.

I also remember the Frito Bandito.


Aye, yii, yii, yiiii, I am the Frito Bandito. I like Frito's Corn Chips, I love them I do. I want Frito's Corn Chips, I'll get them from you.

Aye, yii, yii, yiiii, Oh, I am the Frito Bandito. Give me Frito Corn chips And I'll be your friend. The Frito Bandito You must not offend

Then there were Otter Pops: Strawberry Short Kook, Sir Isaac Lime, Little Orphan Orange, Louie Blue Raspberry, Alexander the Grape and Rip Van Lemon.

I don't remember the Frito Bandito, but I do remember W.C. Fritos.

I wonder if toxic dumping concerns are what eventually killed the notion of marketing something as "Artificially Sweetened Imitation Drink Mix" .

W.C. Fritos replaced the Frito Bandito. But he didn't have a catchy song.

No, he didn't; however, when I first saw something with W.C. Fields on TV I asked if he was supposed to be W.C. Fritos.

W.C. Fritos is just a vague memory for me. I can remember the Sunkist Monster much more vividly.

I have no recollection of the Sunkist Monster.

I remember when Exxon brought back their tiger mascot. They had a commercial in which he had been in a retirement home for old corporate symbols/characters.

I remember the Sunkist Monster. His name was Ralph, as I recall. He always wanted to get a Sunkist orange.

The sunkist monster sounds vaguely familiar, but I could be mixing it up with another memory.

I's forgotten all about the WC Fritos and the Frito Bandito.

They all pale compared to the Kool-Aid jug bursting through the wasll, shouting,"Oh, yeah!"

I remember the 7-up electric butterfly commercial from the 70's. A couple years ago I was at a club and they started playing it on a giant screen near the dance floor. That was wild.

Ah, the Kool-Aid Man: "Oh yeaaahhh!"

I don't remember the 7Up butterfly, but I do remember the Uncola Man.

Budman!

But could Bud Man beat Libby the Kid and his Libbyland Dinners?

The Cheerio Kid had Go-Go-Goooooo!

I only remember the Kool-Aid guy.

Probably for the best.

paid for by the committee to kill this thread

My dear Everyday Girl (although I feel that is a misnomer as you are quite Extraordinary and far from Everyday),

I would never make fun of you. My above post is how I normally speak. All my other posts (including this one) is me putting on airs and making fun of those oldsters.
