Those HeadOn ads are cheap and manipulative—but so is TV advertising in general. Still, gotta respect them for finding a way to do in 10 seconds what most pharmaceutical ads can’t do in two minutes.
As for the GP’s I can’t forget:
David Nacho Cheese Sunflower Seeds ($1.09)
Gold Bond Medicated Foot Powder ($6.99)
Bush’s Original Family Recipe Baked Beans ($1.59)
Phillip’s Fiber Caps ($6.49)
I did like the days when they used the same 15-20 GPs per season. It rewarded contestants who watched every day, and more importantly, it rewarded VIEWERS who tuned in every day. But after sponsorships dropping, Google becoming prevalent, and the Perfect Bid incident, I can’t fault them for deciding to shake it up a bit.
I actually looked for Dolphins and Friends cookies/crackers back in the day, but never found them at my local grocery stores.
I remember they tasted like Goldfish crackers, but with much much stronger artificial cheese flavor. Can’t say I was a fan.
