Toonfomercial: A candy bar from outer space? (1974)

 If you've never heard of the U-No bar, and chances are this would be the case, because I had never run across it until the following ad, I can well understand. A small candy company landed a distribution deal with Ralston Purina in 1974 to make the product available across the country.

This ad explains what the ad agency had in mind, as narrated by Jackson Beck.


California based Annabelle Candy acquired U-No in 1978, but it appears that the product remains a regional entity.
