Super Sugar Bear, and a test
First, watch the video. Second, answer the questions which follow the video.
1) What backward Southern state is Super Sugar Bear's girlfriend from?
2) How did Super Sugar Bear's girlfriend get her hair to go like that?
3) How, exactly is "Blob" making air pollution?
4) What "reward" does Super Sugar Bear's girlfriend offer him?
5) Is putting out a tire fire with water a good idea?

Of course he's polluting. Just look at his outfit. Anything that guy does is bad. And I ALWAYS find it weird when humanized animal cartoons interact with humanized human cartoons.
Love that the sugary cereal as sustenance isn't considered a body pollutant in this ad. That changed not long after this ad. Many of your readers probably only know that cereal as super golden crisps. Makes me wonder what the next thing is we'll discover is bad for us.

My,my,my...where your keen mind does go! Big Haar: rat with skinny teasing brush, then saturate with Aqua Net.That's how we did it in the Sixties. Am I the only one who finds Sugar Bear,unbearably sexy? Not an expert on accents Southern,though I'd like to be,and have played Tennessee Williams belles. I was always overjoyed when the Sugar Crisp was left over in the Snackpak. I like it.
1)Mississippi
2)Tease
3)His very own existence
4)Extra Sugar
5)Absolutely
diadelkendall, I'd often wondered the same thing and I think I have an answer...has to be drinking ten gallons of plastic bottled water a day for “re-hydration” ...and perhaps renal failure down the road.

1) Tennessee.
2) Superglue and a blowtorch.
3) Churning butter in a trash can and then proceeding to throw an indistinguishable black blob, from which, we can presume, Blob derives his name, into the can. Oddly, it seems to spontaneously combust.
4) She never gets to say, as her boyfriend immediately starts eating some conveniently placed breakfast cereal, cutting her off. I suspect that this is a very dysfunctional relationship ("But honey! You and Super Sugar Crisp are BOTH my true love!").
5) I still think that it's a butter fire, but the answer is still no.

Interesting! Three additional observations:
1) Micah's suggestion that Blob is making "tire butter" by burning car tires in a can opens up a whole new angle. Was this "tire butter" a competing breakfast option? Which means that really they were just getting rid of the competition? (believe me, people ate things worse than "tire butter" back then)
B) In terms of accents, it must mean something that Blob has a Boston/New York accent, while SSB and his girlfriend obviously are (as Renee notes) from some particularly sexy part of the South. Is the whole thing really a commentary on the Northeast's polluting industries, relative to the agrarian South?
3) I also love the fact that one can create a "nutritious breakfast" with Super Sugar Crisp, white toast with lots of butter, and two odd looking drinks (possibly coffee and tire butter).

The agrarian background of SSB and Mrs. SSB are made clearer when one notes that SSB gets his pollution control device (which is some kind of portable shower) from a nearby outhouse.
1) Texas
2) She is a bear, she can do stuff like that
3) other blobs
4) She probably was going to offer him pot, given the psychedelic nature of the advertisement
5) He is a bears, he can do stuff like that.

Oh,I don't think so. I just have never spent a lot of time in the South,which is unfortunate, and so wouldn't be able to tell them apart. The ear,I think,is acquired,and perhaps,a gift.
Micah--I did not use either superglue or a blowtorch,which is perhaps why I still have hair. The French do not apply tire butter to their baguettes,no doubt for good reason.
1. I vote for the Carolinas, probably South.
2. As the Southern Culture song says, "lacquer"'
3. Liquor
4. Nectar
5. Dirt is better

1) Trick question! There is no such thing as a backward Southern state. Though Ms. SSB undoubtedly hails from Alabama (pronounced Al-Bamy which, incidentally, is the closest of the Southern states to being backward.
2) Its a wig...everyone knows that bears don't have hair like that.
3) "Blob" (a.k.a. the missing Kennedy) is clearly brewing Keystone Light.
4) Honey--which in the bear community is a street name for heroin.
5) I think you are supposed to put out tire fires by smothering them with bigger tires.
