Comments left:	I've found a Fruit Float TV commercial that aired on "Happy Days" in mid-1974. It begins with a can of the stuff with a pull-string attached to it. A finger pulls it, the "LIBBYS, LIBBYS, LIBBYS" tune is heard. The commercial has the Libby Girl near the end, offering the doll of her likeness. The Libby Girl talking doll (made by Mattel) was only available as a mail-in premium, and was not sold in stores. You had to buy about ten dollars worth of Libby products (20-25 labels) to get one. I would guess that less than fifty thousand were made, making her a little scarce. In mint condition, the Libby Girl doll is worth $110 to $120 on the collectible market, providing the talk device works. I bought one at an antique store for $20. Fairly good shape, with original hair ribbons and shoe laces. Doesn't talk, though.
