THe marketing of food to children and to their parents started with the advent of television - especially saturday morning cartoons - check out these bits from a 1961 Bugs Bunny and Friends show where Bugs and his friends sell Post cereals, Tang juice crystals and more... Be sure to really pay attention to the dialogue - when Bugs tell children directly to ask teir parents (the ultimate nag factor) for Tang at breakfast!
