Junior Spacemen Beg Mothers to Buy Vegetable Juice They Won’t Drink

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!)
