Funny Face Drink Mix

Funny Face Drink Mix was started by the Pillsbury Company in 1964. Initially it was started as a diet drink. It was a diet drink because, it contained no sugar but only artificial sweeteners were added to it. Funny Face Drink Mix used calcium cyclamate as a sweetener. But later calcium cyclamate was changed to saccharine because the FDA had banned cyclamates. But then it was promoted by Pillsbury as a children’s drink. Funny Face Drink Mix had a wide range of flavors. Pillsbury gave each of its flavors a unique character or a unique funny face. Due to effective advertising campaigns it appealed to a lot of children. Even parents preferred Funny Face Drink Mix because it contained no added sugar and was a very healthy alternative to carbonated drinks and fruit juices.
