Hanna-Barbera Kellog News Sweet
Eatin' Five Huck Tony Quick Draw Snaggle 1963
Listing is for a Hanna-Barbera Kellog News
Sweet Eatin' Five Huck Tony Quick Draw Snaggle 1963.
Incredibly scarce - just TRY to find another
copy - or any really. Internal newsletter/magazine meant solely for
internal company distribution. 16 pages of company info - including job
promotions/changes, retirees, product performance, internal contests, etc.
What makes this issue particularly special is the highlighting of their
"Pre-Sweets" line - including popular Hanna Barbera characters. At a time
when the inclusion of the word "SUGAR" was a sales bonus that adorned many
of the cereal box titles - my, have times changed! - the "Sweet Eatin'
Five" promotion ran at least 3 years - possibly much more. The cover bears
probably the first mention of the five pre-sweetened cereals - and
features the mascots of Kellogg's cereals - Huckleberry Hound, Tony the
Tiger, Quick Draw McGraw and Snagglepuss and Sugar Pops Pete - with boxes
of their respective cereals bouncing through air - off either a hand,
butt, or head - towards a basketball hoop with the slogan "Kellogg's Sweet
Eatin' Five - Winners Every Time!".
