slo’s MONDAY 11/10 poll - Flintstone Vitamins

[tvguy]

I was 11 when they went on sale. My mom bought Chocks vitamins once in a while but as an RN she believed in just eating a balanced diet without vitamins for the most part.
Our kids never took supplements. Doctor encouraged a balanced diet as well.

Yep.

10 million stroooooong, and growiiiing.

Completely forgot about that until I read the slogan and heard the voice from my memories.

I don’t recall taking any vitamins on a regular basis. And I think Flintstones came about later, for me anyway.

I don’t think Flintstones vitamins existed when I was a kid. I DO remember taking Chocks and Zestabs (now without cyclamates!!!)

Yes, both tasted like fruit flavored chalk.

Chocks became Flintstones. Of course I took both I lie in the town where they were made. My grandma worked on the line that made them.

Took them and LOVED them! Except when I went through my "I don't eat anything green" phase. I didn't mean veggies - I ate tomatoes, corn, squash, carrots. I meant ANYthing green - no green veggies obvs, but also no green M&Ms, no green Flintstones, etc. Because I wasn't boycotting fruits and veggies completely, my doctor told my mom not to push me - and sure enough one day I just started again.

And I had a whole lot of green Flintstones to get through. LOL. My mom had saved them all.

No kids, so no kid vitamins.
