Flintstones Vitamins! (Are they still around?) Flintstones Vitamins are still around-and they taste horrible. I'll admit it-I'm 20 and still take children's vitamins. There are Powerpuff, Scooby-Doo and Looney Tunes. They make Scooby Snacks-for actual dogs! I remember Donald Duck orange juice. I believe there are actually Dagwood Bumstead coldcuts! ------------------------- Bugs Bunny cartoons are not supposed to feature a lisping Viking rabbit hunter enthusiastically professing his operatic love for a bunny in drag.

There is also Keebler's Scooby Snacks for people made out of graham crackers. They're good too.
And Nabisco makes Disney's Princess Gummies: Multi Vitamins.
Oop. I almost forgot about Wallace & Gromit's Wensleydale Cheese.

Past or present? There was Pink Panther (breakfast) Flakes by Post I believe it was.
Many more should come to mind as time marches on.

There are too many cereals to mention here, but there was one that my older sister
used to buy that was unique: Popeye Puffed Wheat (I think was the name), which
came in a bag instead of a box. It had Popeye's picture on it.

I remember the Pink Panther advertising Pink Insulation as well.

Tom and Jerry Soda was a bubble gum-flavored concoction marketed a few years ago... by a Malaysian company, I think, and pretty hard to find around here.
It tasted much better than you'd think. And yes, T&J were pictured.

Speaking of T&J, they also had flavored Tom & Jerry milk in Israel.

Decades ago, my local general store sold a brand of flavored powdered drinks similar to Kool-Aid, with Fred Flintstone adorned on the label, called "Yabba Dabba Dew."
There's also a Donald Duck Donut Shop here in Maryland.

If we're also counting puppets, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy each had their own shampoo: Kermit's Krazy Berry Bubbles and Miss Piggy's Pink Bananas, specifically.
There was also Woody Woodpecker Glow Putty. Basically, glow-in-the-dark Silly Putty with Woody's picture on the container.

There are no bad ideas, just badly written ones.

The Looney Tunes lent their licenses to Parmalat for their low-fat dairy drinks-in-a-box. Other flavors/characters included Bugs, Taz and Sylvester & Tweety. I haven't seen any of these in stores for a while—last I heard, Parmalat had declared bankruptcy.

Some Parmalat cartons are still sold in my neighborhood supermarket, but just the big ones.

Wow. I checked out your link. The Parmalat drama sounds a lot (a whole lot) like my old job. With one important difference—Parmalat still exists.
