Subject: Anyone remember Mr. Yuck?
It might have only been a local or regional campaign, but I'm thinking it was probably a national commercial. The Poison Controll Center used to air commercials with the Mr. Yuck character. Mr. Yuck was a green headed dude with his tongue sticking out. The song in the commercial went something like "Mr. Yuck is green, Mr. Yuck is mean". And then it would give an address/info for parents to get stickers of Mr. Yuck so they could put them on bottles containing poisonous ingrediants, then the kids seen the sticker, and knew to stay away.
Also, anyone remember the dairy ad in the '80's where the little cowboy would run around the refridgerator singind "When my 10 gallon hat's feelin' 5 gallons flat, I hanker for a hunk of cheese".
