I remember seeing this commercial back around 1965, and begging my mother and father to get some Wackies because I liked this commercial (especially the gorilla saying "Noooooo")!! Then I tasted this banana-flavored cereal and man it was nasty!! But I was only like 9 years old, so I don't know?? I remember the box not getting finished (none of my 6 brothers would touch it), and my mother finally threw it out. I'd sure like to give this cereal another chance now that I'm older, but Wackies didn't seem like it was on the market very long at all?!? Guess that's what you get when you create odd-length 0:45 second commercials to promote your product??...
