They had a distinctive taste that I don’t think I ever encountered again.

That PSA aired in the tri state area of eastern PA, NJ and NY. I can still sing it by heart. It’s charming the way the pills all snuggle together at the end.

I was definitely a "Flintstones kid," though I'm not sure how much the chewables helped me with "growing" as I remained below-average height even with the vitamins. Mom says I'm short because I didn't eat my vegetables...I guess Fred and Wilma could only do so much. I never had the opportunity to sneak extra tablets as sweet treats as they were dispensed to me one at a time as an accompaniment to my morning bowl of Kix and then stored in a secret location. Perhaps my folks had seen that awesome PSA.
