Mother, why did Daddy switch to post him? Your father says there's no caffeine in post him, nothing to spoil your sleep, and your father knows best. Yes, it's father knows best, transcribed in Hollywood starring Robert Young as father, a half hour visit with your neighbors the Anderson's, brought to you by Instant Postam,
the good tasting drink that's entirely caffeine-free, and by post 40% brand flakes, America's largest selling brand flakes.
