Comments left:	From the Saturday morning cartoon vault, a TV commercial block for Beech Nut, introducing two new products. First, Sour Stripes. Two bank robbers are on the run. Young man quickly changes into the superhero, Sour Stripe Man (striped tights), and uses a "sour vapor" to stop them. Two teens ask, "Who was that?" Sour Stripe Man flies off, chanting, "Buy Beech Nut, by gum!" Second ad was for cinnamon Hot Shots candy, featuring a cartoon boy band donning Beatle wigs and suits. The candy was similar to Red Hots wiener-shaped ones, only round. This was a half-minute version (a full-minute ad also was done). These aired on "Milton the Monster" (Hal Seeger cartoon) over ABC (2/5/66). Other than the sour flavor, Sour Stripe was nearly the same as Fruit Stripe gum, assorted flavor sticks in a pack.
