Toonfomercial: Remember Banana Wackies? (1965)

Now, here's a cereal that was a 1-hit wonder.

General Mills introduced Banana Wackies in 1965. Jay Ward's studio was responsible for the ads, so I'm guessing June Foray & Daws Butler are the voices heard here......



Unfortunately, the Wackies were knocked from the shelves after just a year. I never heard of them until seeing ads appear on YouTube recently.

I'm not sure the boy is June. Doesn't sound like her to me.

The gorilla might be Daws, but I've also heard that it's comedian B.S. Pully.

B. S. Pully? Never heard of him.
