Do you think the ownership / management of the Flintstone's Vitamins company has constant battles with their marketing and PR people over their image? I mean, these are kid's vitamins. And the Flintstones aren't exactly at the forefront of infant entertainment, if you know what I mean. Most kids probably don't even know who they are.... you would think the marketing team would be pushing for a new cartoon.... And maybe the same company makes a line of chewable vitamins in the likeness of a newer cartoon. So why not do away with the antiquated Flintstone's? They must be counting on the Parent's recognition and trust of the brand?

did I just answer my own question?

I was always more bothered by the "Ten million strong...& growing" line in the ads. Sounds like they're ganging up to do something bad. Real bad.

My kids have never seen the cartoon, but Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles they know very well.

Spongebob seems like a natural successor.

But then neo-cons would boycott and claim giving them to kids will give them teh ghey.
Especially the pink and purple ones.

Fruity Pebbles already do that.

I think Flintstones vitamins are viable without the cartoon. They have become their own franchise.

This sounds like it belongs in Todd's Zen thread.
