What can you say about this? A quick trip back to the 1950s… File this under Random …
(For foreign readers, all you need to know is that The Flintstones was a classic American cartoon.)

Oooooh title typo :) “Flinstones”
Thanks Kristie for the heads up on that. Typed too quickly. Fixed now.
Cheers,
Dan
Actually the Flintstones was not intended to be a childrens’ program. The show was noteable at the time for being the first television cartoon series aimed at adults, not to mention the first to be shown in prime time. That’s probably why the network had no problem with the characters selling cigarettes.
Tim, Thanks for the clarification on this. Appreciate it. I feel slightly better about humanity now :)
