Monkees Kool-Aid retail display

4/7/2017

Kool-Aid acted as sponsors when The Monkees television series started in reruns on CBS in the fall of 1969. This piece of memorabilia recently elicited 20 bids on eBay with a final auction price of $356.00! The seller provided the following description:

Up for sale is an extremely rare Kool-Aid retail display with an offer featuring the Monkees (minus Peter Tork) offering practical jokes. This display would have been affixed to a grocery store shelf, and people would take the coupons for free hand buzzers or snake in a can when they mailed in Kool-Aid labels. The reverse of the coupon says that the offer expires in February 1970, so this is probably circa fall of 1969.

A similar advertisement appeared in newspapers in the fall of 1969.

Was a reader of the Live Almanac the winning bidder???

Filming a Kool-Aid commercial was tough work in those days! This was one of the last photos taken of the trio and most likely Michael's final Monkees project during the group's original incarnation.
