Yikes! The big pig!
This Alpha Bits commercial was directly responsible for one of my most vivid memories of my childhood. My cousins Steve and Justin and I (and probably also my cousin Frank who died a few years later, but my memory of that detail is less certain) were staying over at our grandparents’ house, and we stayed up most of the night laughing wildly about only this commercial. Our grandfather repeatedly yelled at us to keep it down and go to sleep, but his attempts were very much in vain; a handful of young boys cannot be stopped.
It was good to be six years old.
When the three of us are together these days, that night always comes up in our conversations somehow, and it tends to incite raucous laughter for many minutes.
