Flintstones Winston Comercial


If the Flintstones enjoy a good smoke, how bad can it be? This Hanna-Barbera cartoon franchise (with a big appeal to kids, but originally created for adults) wisely switched from advertising potential health risks in the Sixties to their own brand of vitamins in the Seventies. By then, cigarette advertising was banned on television, anyway. After Wilma got pregnant (with Pebbles), the show's sponsor became Welch's Grape Juice - becoming the preferred fruit juice of the baby boomers.
