This morning in the Country 94.1 morning show, Hayden and I were talking about a genius 13 year old who aced an IQ test and scored higher than Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. Somehow, we transformed this conversation into Flintstone vitamins. Go figure.
That said, was there a kid in the 80s/90s that DIDN'T take these chewable vitamins? It feels like no matter what, Flintstone vitamins were everywhere. And has been proven so many times over to really, be completely ineffective. But we still took them! Because that was what you did. Wake up, have breakfast, have some cereal and take your Flintstone vitamins.
I remember very distinctly(weekends, usually) getting up on Saturday morning and watching cartoons with my bowl of cereal and vitamin in tow. There was no chance all of those things weren't consumed, and in the off chance you didn't have any, there was a commercial what felt like every 12 seconds for them on whatever cartoon show you were watching.
Now, you can get all sorts of vitamins with a wide variety of cartoon characters, like Trolls or various animals. But for my buck, if I want a vitamin that's going to make me strong, I want one from a guy that drives a car with his feet. He's gotta be tough.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sing the commercial in my head. "We are Flintstone kids!..."
