Ah, the 60s, when you could sell toys which got super hot! Much like Mattel's Thing Maker, the Incredible Edibles line produced gummy candy by heating up a metal mold and adding goop to the mold. The idea is still around and you can buy a Creepy Crawlers Incredible Edibles set today.

I looooved Bonkers from Nabisco. Their closest competition was Starburst, but chewier and more flavourful. The ads were also very memorable with practical effects. The candy was discontinued in the 1990s and it's possible that nostalgic confectioner Leaf Brands may eventually bring it back.

Print ads complimented the commercials as well, often seen in comic books.
