Well I want not alive during those days, but it is fun to see.
Well, Fred & Barney had The Flinstones being sponsored by Post Cereals and so, Mr. Flinstone & Mr. Rubble promoted the Pebbles' Cereals in commercials. XD

Commercials are a link to our past, and the jingles were much more catchier. I miss Mayor Mccheese and the Hamburgler

Yeah! Not watching TV has to be a full blown on experience. It's simply just not enough to just enjoy the show anymore. I remember bask in then day when TV use to say "In stereo where available"...:boo:
