OK so does anybody remember the Hawaiian Punch ad campaign when the jingle said Hawaiian Punch was "Tremendously Tropical?"

Nobody believes me that it exists

No--all I remember is How about a Hawaiian Punch with little Punchy

I have found the ads with "old school" Punchy... I think this particular ad campaign was run in the mid to late 90's... it did include Punchy saying "how bout a nice Hawaiian Punch?"

past my prime, I was in my 20s in the 90s. Boy did I drink a lot of kool aide as a kid.

We drank quite a bit of Kool Aide... a little bit of Hawaiian Punch, Juicy Juice, Quik (before it was called Nesquik)

Are you thinking about the Pepsi product Tremendously Tropical???




Punchy was created in December 1961. He appeared as a cartoon character on television for the first time in February 1962.

Punchy became an instant advertising success and brand identifier for young people. Punchy's was copyrighted in 1964. In addition, Punchy was accompanied by Opie (sometimes referred to as Oaf), who served as the target of the mascot's punch. The Punchy and Opie characters and tagline remained in use through the 1990s.

In 1992, Punchy participated in a presidential promotion campaign as the favored candidate ("No one else has the punch"). While Punchy didn't win the election, his popularity soared among young and old alike. Punchy has been revamped with contemporary fashion and music to appeal to modern consumers. He still has the punch!

Also in February 2003, Punchy received a makeover. The long-time spokesman for Hawaiian Punch was given a more contemporary look that appeals to teens.
