If you were a child growing up you probably asked your mom or dad to make you some Funny Face Drinks to drink with your snacks after school. Funny Face was sold from the 1950's to 1970's and was made by Pillsbury. To market Funny Face a series of commercials was made but the most famous commercial features a young boy shopping the supermarket when he hears giggling and realizes it's a display of Funny Face Drinks getting the boy's attention. With flavors such as Goofy Grape Jolly Olly Orange and Loudmouth Lime Funny Face Drink mix had some serious competition with Kool-Aid when they first came out. Although no longer made the commercials are fun to look at for nostalgia

They ran into trouble early with PC police of that era. The original name of the Orange flavor was Injun Orange and the cherry flavor was Chinese Cherry (it later became Choo Choo Cherry). There was also a lemon flavor which I don't think made it into the commercials (it may have come along a little later, I think it was called Lefty Lemon).
