Asheville, NC (PRUnderground) January 28th, 2019

In the 50s and 60s, Saturday morning TV shows entertained Boomer kids, but they were also vehicles for brand advertising. Chances are that’s how Boomers first got to know cereal, soft drink, and snack food brands. The “Boomer Brands” they knew and loved then, they remember to this day.

Boomer Brands: Iconic Brands that Shaped Our Childhood is a unique new book that celebrates the brands of the 50s and 60s. It covers cereal, soft drink, snack food, fast food, toy, car, beauty brands and more, as well as rock ‘n’ roll, protest and environmental brands. Brand maven Barry Silverstein shares “Boomer Brand Cameos” of over fifty of the brands Boomers grew up with, including Disney, Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, Good Humor, Howard Johnson and Twinkies, to name a few. Plus, Boomers will gain rare insight into how these iconic brands shaped their childhood and have a lasting impact on their life. Boomer Brands is meant to be read by Boomers, shared with Boomers, and savored for the memories!
