This isn’t some clever photoshop job. It’s true. In the 1960s, “The Flintstones” was actually sponsored by Winston cigarettes and the ad spot showed our favorite prehistoric couples smoking.
The ad starts out with a joke about the men relaxing while women do the hard work, then Fred and Barney pull out a pack of smokes and extol the virtues of Winston: “Winston tastes good like a cigarette should.”
'The Flintstones' originally aired at 8:30 p.m. and was considered a racy adult-audience program.
