This Shelton, Washington scene reminds me of the weirdest TV ad jingle I ever heard. It was in the mid to late 1970s:

Fred and Barney are enthusiastically singing these lyrics in an ad for Pebbles cereal:

"When you put sweet Pebbles in your mouth
You'll never have rocks in your head!"

Theme Park of Terror!!!



I visited one of these in 1979 in Quebec. Seeing a giant Fred Flintstone running around and speaking in French as he horrified small children was a disjointing experience.

Note how Barney and Fred are about to steamroll over that little guy! The addition of Dino gives the place a Jurassic Park edginess.
