Toonfomercial: Barney teaches Fred yoga to steal cereal, but the promotion comes first (1979)

 In 1979, Post Cereals, then part of General Foods, ran a promotion with DC Comics to insert mini-comics inside specially marked boxes of Pebbles cereals (both flavors). In a rare instance, the promotion comes first, then the usual skit with Fred (Henry Corden) & Barney (Mel Blanc).

Super Friends narrator Bill Woodson is the announcer. YouTube commentators had Woodson confused with Gary Owens for some reason.


I might've seen those mini's at flea markets, as I didn't buy the cereal back then.
