I’m from Oregon, and born in the early '90s. I remember Mr. Yuk from when I was 3 years old. It’s funny because my family didn’t use the stickers to mark what was poisonous. In fact, I didn't know that was his purpose until watching your video. I just thought it was equivalent to a free pen or something from poison control. My mom and grandma would just get the free stickers and give them to me because I loved Mr. Yuk. I even have a Mr. Yuk iron on patch on side bag. It's been my discord profile picture for years. But apparently I'm shat Mr. Yuk fan since I didn't even know how to use him right. Thanks for the video and the free stickers
I was born in '87 in the Pittsburgh area and distinctly remember my household using these stickers. I never realized before now just how unique my experience may have been.
I grew up in the Harrisburg area, and I remember Mr. Yuck in the 80s. I assumed this was a nationwide program, but my wife who moved around a lot as a kid (but never the PA area) had never heard of it.
I was b.1969, grew up in Wisconsin. The Mr. Yuck commercials on tv I remember well... kind of psychedelic and scary. Mom got stickers and had us kids join in putting stickers on stuff.
@herbcraven7146 Kids' shows in general back then were pretty trippy! Not only the Sid & Marty Krofft shows, but even Sesame Street and Electric Company were a little pleasantly whacked! Wouldn't trade it for the world though... it was a unique time.
I remember the phrase “yuckit bucket” having something to do with those. They talked about it and gave stickers out in kindergarten in the mid to late 70’s where I live in Ohio.
I had a cabinet back in the day that had both good and bad computer component... The bad ones I put Mr. Yuck stickers on the box. Saved the day, I'm sure. PNW area.
Holy sh*t!!! The video for this they showed in the 80's scared me to death as a 6 year old! I somehow thought one way or another I'd end up on that very scary ambulence! Seriously! But those stickers were garbage and fell off. And I remember asking for more of them. An overall horrible failure on education of these products with most emphasis on "You could suddenly end up in this ambulence with a bunch of tubes coming out of you. " Bad memories of this, and was just a basic announcement.
I hwas TERRIFIED of going to the doctor as kid because I thought I may end up on the very scary ambulance like in the Mr. Yuck video...... Almost traumatizing.

Unless you knew the background I can see confusion. Lol I used some stickers with my Legos.

Oh, I am totally going to order a t-shirt!

Hopefully it will pop in your mind next time you do something unsafe 😂

Same age here. I spent my early years in the UP, and we got several Green Bay stations on TV, That commercial scared the life out of me.

When the floppy discs failed, I learned a typewriter.

I feel like as a kid I was told I would get poisoned and offered drugs more than what actually happened.
We had the “NO SIOP” snake in northern IL 🐍🐍🐍🐍
I like the logo, and love that “NO SIOP” is poison backwards.
Huh. I live in MA.- born mid-70s- we had Mr. Yuck. We thought it was funny. Like the 'Life Call' commercial. Ah, the good ol' days...
First 🎉

You mean that wasnt a Sid & Marty Krofft show?
I still remember the jingle.
1-800-222-122, 1-800-222-122! If you think you've been poisoned, you dunno what to do... 1-800-222-122!
