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.
I remember having this in the house and having too many. I can’t remember much detail I didn’t go to the hospital. Either I got sick or yelled at by my mom. I’m sure after that the we’re on a higher self. I might have been 5 or 6.
I was around the same age. I didn't get sick, but boy was my Mom a dangerous combination of furious and concerned. I think the anger was mostly at herself for not seeing that I would view them as a treat.

It makes me really happy to know that I am not the only one who can still sing along with this one.
I am able to do the high-pitched voice - so not only do I sing the whole song - I sound exactly like them

I'm still waiting for the life-sized ones that Dr. Forrester promised us.
