When I was in second grade I got my tonsils taken out, and when I did I got this little gem of a toy which was nothing short of an advertisement for Green Giant vegetables. It was a little factory where the sprouts canned peas, carrots, and the like. I’m not sure why this toy sticks in my mind so, but I think it may have something to do with just how effective the Jolly Green Giant commercials were. I mean it takes a special advertising campaign to make kids look forward to vegetable ads.
I have to think this is a rather rare toy, because I could find absolutely no mention of it online, no one’s selling it on Ebay, and not a YouTube video in sight.
