I still probably would’ve preferred having the Star Wars version of this toy from Kenner because it was a loop of the battle involving the Falcon trying to escape from four TIEs. But given how low brow the Seventies could be, this wouldn’t have surprised me. The VCR was still too expensive, Deep Throat was practically a mainstream movie (Ugh! Never seen it yet I read a synopsis, sounds boring) and no joke Mills and Zers, there was a moronic attempt to market a low-alcoholic drink to children called Chelsea. The manufacturers did backoff quickly, then tried to market it to women in the vein of Tab or Diet Rite. It was too late since I remember Carson mocking it in his nightly monologue (paraphrased).
Ed, have you heard of this new alcoholic drink they were trying to sell to children? Yeah, it was called Chelsea and they’ve since withdrawn it from the shelves after the backlash caused by their radio ad. “When you need to unwind after a long day of making mudpies.”
