I remember the Libbyland dinners, folding up the carton like it shows on the commercial. The pudding always tasted burnt and in one of them, they had root beer mix for the milk - yecch. We dumped that down the drain.
Wow a little before my memory banks started officially absorbing memories, for you see, I'm exactly as old as these commercials are...never knew there was a time when blue diamonds didn't exist in Lucky Charms yet.
I don't really remember Libbyland kids dinners . My mom fed us just about everything for dinner .From home cooked meals , to fast food take out to Swanson tv dinners and frozen pizza 😂
Luv the Lucky Charms add. It reminds me of just how many marshmellow desings have been added, like the hot air balloon,the shooting star, and the newest time glass. haha
I loved Libbyland dinners when I was a kid! They weren't the best-tasting fare, and certainly didn't have the best ingredients (Milk Magic was all artificial, until they wisely switched to Nestle's Quik, probably in reaction to parents' complaints), but they were always fun, as Libby the Kid and Mean Gene emphasized. My favorite came later: the Gold Strike Supper, which had turkey and a chocolate brownie in lieu of the gooey, gluey pudding that came with the others. Thanks for the memories!
Libbylind Kid's Meals! THATS what they were called! I ate those when I was in pre-school... and I've been trying to think of the name of them for nearly 40 years! (thanks!) The irony is that I was a picky eater & I still LOVED them. Everyone else seems to think they were awful, hence them being taken OFF the market! I remember the 'magic' angle in the drink was that it left swirled patterns of food-colered crystals on the bottom of the cup!
Hope they've got enough starch in that TV dinner. Hot dog with a SIDE of spaghetti and meatballs?? Then fries and a brownie? Wow. Course, it's not any different now.
0:30 I remember that commercial. Toys and their ads were FAR superior to what they have now. As far as toys that are not video game or computer based I mean.
Back when children with legitimate behavioral disorders got beat because they had chemical imbalances in their brain. And when you prayed and indoctrinated your children? Sounds like such a better time.
Virgil i had the Bonneville bike? And one that looked like a dragster. Man them things could fly. They were selling them again back in the 90s i shouldve bought a few.

Those poor deprived kids! Lucky charms only had 4 marshmellows back then! Now therer's like 45 different ones in each box and no more of the actual pops.
Libbyland dinners!!!! I used to plead with my mother to get them. Totally influenced by the commercials & the kid friendly packaging. I'm sure if I tasted them now, they'd be uber-nasty. But...I got my parents to buy them. The drink was particularly awful!!

I read something funny about Franken Berry - the food coloring they used back then wasn't digested, as a result, kids thought they were bleeding when they went to the bathroom. I hope I haven't ruined your dinners. lol
i remember once, and only once the rabbit got some cereal and when he went home to his apartment, he was out of milk and the "Got Milk?" message appeared right afterward. I was like, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! HE WAS SOOO CLOSE!" Lol.
Franken Berry, Count Chocula, Lucky Charms, "charged with vitamins" Oh yeah! and 5 lbs of suger per serving...and they wondered why we ran everywhere and couldnt still in class for a second. LOL
I'm 41, and I lament with you, and also occupied my time as a kid doing the same, but I secretly am still jealous of 'kids these days' just HAVING the Internet for a resource. Somehow all those visits to the local library have ended.
Libbyland had NO fat kids, ya' know why? 'casuse we didn't sit in front of a computer or play a video game all day! We played OUTSIDE all day long, until the street lights came on(that's when you knew to go home)Rode bikes, climbed trees, went swimming, played stick ball, built forts, you name it. Life was so much simpler & straight forward in those days. I kinda feel sorry for kids these days.
with my metal detector. ones a hot wheels beatnick bandit the others a johnny lightning i almost threw it away it looked like a clump of junk at first. besides the two cars i dug up the only remaining toy from the early 70s is a empty tube of Vampire Blood i found by the side of our garage about 10 years ago. Man i was stoked lol
In a room full of baby boomers, just say "Always after my Lucky Charms", and I guarantee you that at least one person will follow it with "the frosted oat cereal with sweet surprises!" Amazing the crap that settles into the recesses of your brain.
Back in grade school i launched a SSP off a ramp and hit this girl Susie in the side of the head..WHAM! She narked and SSPs were banned from school. The next day we treated the girls on the playground with some thrown rocks. Susie got it good that day!
ssp toys were awesome. they hurt like hell when you got your skin caught in the power wheel....lol i feel sorry for the kids today, they sit on their computers and drink soda and get fat. do you think a kid today can climb a tree today?
