In what must be the most unappetizing breakfast combination since soylent green and cream soda, two junior spacemen (no girls allowed!) chase their Cheerios with V-8 juice in this commercial from 1960. Why? Because they needed a box top and can label to get a "moon rocket" game.
Watch the whole thing at the Prelinger Archives. (Obsessive detail: They don't appear to be using the premier flatware of futuristic astronauts. So unchic!)

I love V8. But not with Cheerios.
Director's cut: an end shot of little Timmy pouring 3 oz of vodka in his V8.
I'd like to know more about this offer for a free Cheerios boxtop and a V-8 label.
We've all been Ramen-eating-students and have had mornings when the milk was gone, and anything sounded better on cereal than water. I'm just sayin'.
Come on, they have to get their vitamins and nutrients, just like the real astronauts.
What a couple a little pantywaists...real spacemen drink delicious, refreshing Clamato™ with their Cheerios.
Wassa "power protein"?
I have no idea what it does, but it instatly makes me want to switch from my regular "crap protein" I'm having from breafast now.
Either that was a sleepover or this family has widely differing sandards on haircuts
