That's adorable! Very cute ad! Can't imagine why kids would prefer to drink this over Mazola, though! ;)

1956... bet this guy is off now in some dimension of forgotten advertisers, drinking something much much different (and stronger).

Well let's say he was 20 at the time, that would make him 75-ish ... but I believe it is an ad agency custom to put their designers on an icefloe when they hit 30 and push them out to sea.

Hi-C used to be made of real fruit?

What a cute ad--I love the giraffe!

[fearandloathing.livejournal.com]

Wow... the kid and the dog are jonesing for it...

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

yeah the "c" is for "cocaine", right?

Well that might explain why Cecil is such a jolly giraffe. Guess he's more of a high Cecil.

Oh, this is so cute! My mom would get this for my sister and me and it tasted pretty good, if I remember right. :)

I had *never* seen this stuff in my life until after we'd moved from small-town Minnesota to Seattle when I was 10. Other kids would bring it for school parties, and I remember thinking the teacher was so clever for having one of those punch-type bottle opener thingies in her desk drawer. I always thought it tasted weird, though.

Heh, everyone's tastes are different. And yay for clever, prepared teachers! :)

It's emblematic of my childhood that I could certainly distinguish Hi-C from Hawaiian Punch from Juicy Juice, even today, blindfolded. It came in a big can just like this, and it must have given my mother heart failure to see her children's small hands attempt to grasp and pour from it.

"Contains no fruit juice." Oh, wait, that's Tang®.

That artwork is so cute. I love this!

Hi-C in a can? I missed out on that! By the time I came around, the only juice I saw in cans was Juicy Juice. However, I did love my Ecto Cooler Hi-C, complete with Slimer (from Ghostbusters) on the label!

Oh, gawd, I luved Hi-C! If my mom hadn't kept tabs on me, I'd drink the whole can at once!

Love the artwork - Thank You :)
