General Mills Ad 1950Full color 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Ready-to-eat Oat Cereal. We see a drawing of an older man running a vacuum while a young boy watches him. This man, with one finger, is lifting the piano so he can clean under it and the young boy stares in amazement because this man “Doesn’t Know his own Strength”. Next we see this young boy eating a bowl of Cheerios and saying “M-m-m Delicious!” and now “He’s feeling his Cheerios. The ad has pictured a green bowl of this product and milk with sliced bananas on it and talks about getting a “whale of a lot of GO power!”. The ad also mentions having a Hall of Fun by getting the “8 Funny framed pop-out pictures” of popular celebrities of the time.
