Dating to 1968, these Mattel Inc. television commercials include the Incredible Edibles and Talking Barbie. Incredible Edibles was a toy sold by Mattel from 1967 to 1968. It was a series of circular metal molds into which Gobble-Degoop, a gelatin based gel, was squeezed into. The form was then placed in a small oven and baked into a rubbery soft candy in the shape of worms, insects, and flowers among others, coming in six flavors: licorice, mint, butterscotch, cherry, root beer and cinnamon. Tutti Fruitti, banana and raspberry were offered in refills and accessory kits. Talking Barbie (:41) and Stacey (:46), who was Barbie doll’s “British chum”, were part of the new group of Talking dolls for 1968. The Stacey dolls have a British accent, bendable knees, rooted lashes, straight long hair, blonde or titian tied on the right with a green ribbon. Cool Mod friend Stacey even made comments about mini skirts!
