Alas, I was born too late.

1967 magazine ad for General Mills Bugles, Daisy•s and Whistles... and Canada Dry Ginger Ale sorta.

Bugles are still around, but I totally missed out their snack siblings — “Whistles – a cheddar-flavored corn product in the shape of a whistle and taste like grilled cheese on toast, only crunchy; and Daisy*s – a flower-shaped snack that had the flavor of puffed popovers.”

Dang it

The ad copy:

Break out the snacks!
Have a drink on us.

Careful! In your rush to crunch into the lip-smackin’ goodness of Bugles, Whistles and Daisy•s, don’t accidentally eat the coupon inside each foil-wrapped pack. It’s good for 10¢ off on a six-pack of Canada Dry Ginger Ale—the sparkling flavor-mate to the tastiest trio of snacks ever.
