Evel Knievel Takes on Big Cavities!

[RSS]

"Let's face it.....Evel Knievel can convince kids to brush their teeth better than you can!" Right, he can pick his own teeth up from the bottom of his rocket car and show kids how white and clean they are.

In other Evel Knievel news, World's Greatest Toys Blog is taking a look at the Evel Knievel products pitched by Mego in 1975. These are the rarely talked about Bike accessories and *ahem* Popsicles(!) Evel was playing both sides when it came to tooth decay.

Can you imagine that monster sitting on your sink? No way my mom would have put up with that. Heck, our sink was no where big enough for that thing.

The real Evel was probably more likely to punch you in the teeth rather than tell you to brush them.

Oh and it just hit me, but look really hard at that kid above. Folks I think we have found our model for Action Jackson!!!

I just saw one of these on Ebay the other day. Cool idea, but man it's big! When I was a kid, I had a Flintstones battery op toothbrush. I recently found a MIB one at a toy show! It doesn't work sadly, but it's a beautiful item!

And about that ad for the popsicles: what a goofy looking kid!

I wonder if someone came up with the idea to have Evel jump over some kid's mouth?

I just can't imagine that popsicle kid getting many modeling gigs. As HardyGirl said, He just looks goofy.

Yeah. That kid's hair looks like some kind of weird helmet.
