knitting and QUISP!

you know, i take a lot of pleasure in being a product of my generation. as a matter of fact, i pretty much have nothing but pity for anybody born after 1976.

this afternoon, ben and i found this great old quisp cereal commercial, which features knitting!



i was such a big fan of quisp, by which i mean, the quisp box design. i have no recollection of eating it although i know i did. there was also some cereal in the early '70s that had an owl as the mascot? does anybody know what i'm talking about?

or - koogle. does anybody remember that "flavored" peanut butter, koogle?

UPDATE: corvus elrod was able to expediently provide almost full recall of HOOTS cereal to me (i know i was sitting in a high chair while eating this stuff). you can trust a man named corvus elrod.

i was motivated by this enough to continue my search for KOOGLE, which it does appear many remember. koo koo koogle with the koo koo koogly eyes! a peanut butter spread in the flavors of chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon and banana. all i want is an image, and so it seems do many others.

DOUBLE UPDATE: he may be incapable of other, simple courtesies, but nebish found a picture of a jar of koogle. check out the sell-by date! june '75.
