This little guy. You remember him, don’t cha? (Cheerios, 1978)
“When you want the great taste of Cheerios – just Cheer-y-odel.”
This weekend our Daily 70s Spots will feature an ancient and forgotten Cheerios mascot. Here’s the first commercial with “Animated Stick Figure on Blackboard Guy.” Spot aired in 1978.
*Note: “Animated Stick Figure on Blackboard Guy” may not be the mascot’s actual name.
Previously on Daily 70s Spot: Aurora ‘Red Dunes – Sand Vans’ Model Race Cars (1972)
Reminds me of Mr. Whoopee’s 3 dimensional blackboard from the Tennessee Tuxedo cartoons.
Could be an inspiration. It came after. Never know.
