The Flintstones
- In 1992, Hanna-Barbera licensed The Flintstones to Heinz, who sold spaghetti shaped like the Flintstones characters. An animated commercial was made with Henry Corden, Jean Vander Pyl, and Frank Welker reprise their roles of Fred, Wilma, and Barney, while Pebbles, Dino, Betty Rubble, Bamm-Bamm appear in non-speaking roles.
Scooby-Doo
- In 2016, Heinz announced Snap Pots with Scooby-Doo,[1] and in 2017, released pasta shaped like members of Mystery Incorporated. The latter led to an unfortunate discovery by a mother in Llandudno, Wales, UK, who opened up a can she brought from Asda to find bugs inside.[2][3]
