1972 Socks
Description: The MGB is a two-door sports car that was manufactured and marketed from 1962 until 1980 by the British Motor Corporation (BMC), later the Austin-Morris division of British Leyland, as a four-cylinder, soft-top sports car. It was announced and its details first published in September of 1962. Variants included the MGB GT three-door 2+2 coupé, the six-cylinder sports car, and coupé MGC, and the eight-cylinder 2+2 coupé, the MGB GT V8. During the early '70s, BMC ran an ad campaign playing up the car's sporty, fun persona by way of the 'your mother wouldn't like it' tagline. The ads resonated with consumers, especially young women, who definitely didn't want something that their mother might actually approve of.
Description: Sir Grapefellow was a short-lived cereal that launched in 1972, featuring a British World War I era pilot of the same name. The cereal itself consisted of grape-flavored oat cereal with sweet berry marshmallows, and tasted a lot like classic grape jelly. Sir Grapefellow was the nemesis of Baron Von Redberry, mascot of Baron Von Redberry cereal. In the vein of the cereal rivalries like Quisp & Quake bickering over which one was better, Redberry would proclaim, "Baron Von Redberry is der berry goodest!" and Grapefellow would counter, "Sir Grapefellow is the grapest!" in their various TV spots and print ads.
