Comments left:	Beech-Nut introduced CareFree gum in 1969. Nabisco acquired the gum in 1979.Found an earlier TV commercial. It aired locally on WBBM in Chicago, during a telecast of "Stand Up and Cheer," the syndicated variety show, hosted by the famed choral leader Johnny Mann. Among the young troupe of singers was 57-year-old Thurl Ravenscroft, the voice of Tony the Tiger and balladeer for "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Talk about culture clash. The Vietnam War was still going on, and all these youngsters (18 to 30) were (in some peoples' opinions) waving the flag in this weekly series which featured patriotic music, mixed in with a little comedy and talk. Some felt the intent was to get young people to vote in 1972, despite the apathy the war created. "Stand Up and Cheer" ended in early 1974, after 2 and 1/2 years.
