Since the target demographic for comic books was children, it was good business sense to take out ads in what they were paying for the privilege of looking at.
I can't help but think that the advertising worked, because I've put just about everything they advertized into my mouth at one time or another.
Fruit Stripes was my brand of gum.
The Ferrara Pan candies were my favorite candy.
Cherry Clan, Alexander The Grape and Johnny Appleheads.
And I still enjoy a cherry Icee to wash down the popcorn when I go to the movies.
Here's a look back at the junk food ads that ran in The Uncanny X-Men.
