Clanky Chocolate Syrup - Spaceman (Robot) Bottle
Distributed by Family Foods, Chicago, Illinois, beginning in 1963, Clanky Chocolate Flavored Syrup quickly became a childhood favorite. The brown plastic container stood approximately 9.5″ tall and contained a handy cap that did not require removal to dispense the syrup. A simple snip of the point on the yellow cap and you were ready to go!
There was a pretty cool television commercial for Clanky Chocolate Syrup as well. The jingle was catchy, sung by a group of children of course! Here’s a screen shot. The jingle is here.
