President Ronald Reagan also cleared the way for advertising to be directed at children for the first time, Richman noted, which led to a boom of ads for sugary cereals with cartoon characters as mascots.

Writer obviously has zero familiarity with tv commercials of the 1960s.

We kids born in the 50s all grew up with Capt. Crunch, Sugar Bear, and Co.

I still have my Quaker Oats Company deed for a square inch of land in the Canadian Yukon.

Around the mid-50s, I fought with my brother about which one of us would get the coupon to send in the box top for the deed.

Klondike Big Inch Land Promotion

**In 1956, there was an Uncle Scrooge McDuck comic book story inspired by the Big Inch Land promotion. When Scrooge visits his square inch of land in Texas, a prairie dog with engine oil on its feet leads Scrooge to believe there is oil under his land. Donald Duck and his kids buy cereal boxes around the country to obtain the neighboring square inches so Scrooge can drill for the oil that wasn’t there.**

**Starting on January 1955, 93 newspapers across the United States ran advertisements that read "Get a real deed to one square inch of land in the Yukon gold rush country" and, "You'll actually own one square inch of Yukon land".[1] The promotion was tied to the Sergeant Preston of the Yukon television show which Quaker Oats was sponsoring at the time. **
