“6 flavors. 7 shapes. 10 essential vitamins.”
Time to gulp down our Daily 70s Spot. Here’s a Flintstones Multiple Vitamins commercial featuring chewable vitamins, Regular or with Iron. Narration is by Mason Adams (at least, that’s my guess). Spot aired in February of 1974.
We usually had these in our medicine cabinet when I was growing up. I used to eat them by the handful like they were candy. It’s a wonder I’m not much healthier today. With all those delicious vitamins I gobbled up, you’d think so.
*Update: A helpful YouTube viewer says the VO is by William Schallert – and I believe he’s correct. Thanks, Barry G.!
