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.

My mother used to take Flintstones Vitamins as a child and she loved them and she also loved the very first Flintstones Vitamins commercial "you know the one that goes,
"Yabba Dabba Doo
"Flintstones Vitamins are good to chew"
And my mom knew that commercial by heart every time it would come on. It's hard to believe that Flintstones Vitamins are still best-selling children's vitamins and my mom still takes them today as well as my father and me. I do remember when they added Betty to the Flintstones vitamins in the 90's and I don't know why they chose to discontinue the Betty vitamins but I think Flintstones Vitamins still ranks as the top children's vitamins because it was not only a hit but when you stick cartoon characters in kids vitamins they attract a big kids audience and it's no secret that the 80's slogan 10 Million Strong And Growing is true for Flintstones Vitamins today

No we did not take them and no I did not give them to my son. We didn't take any vitamins and I didn't give my son any.
