This is a vintage 1960's Yoo-Hoo
Promotional Store Clock depicting Yogi
Berra. This Yoo-Hoo clock was given to
select store owners to help promote
their product. The electric powered
clock is made of plastic which is
attached to a metal frame and measures
28.5" long, 10.5" high and 4" deep.
There is a chain at the top that is
used to hang it on a wall. The likeness
of number 8, Yogi Berra swinging is
prominent on the left hand side. The
advertising reads "Me for Yoo-Hoo"
Chocolate Drink. The Drink of
Champions. Mickey Mantle also did
adverting for Yoo-hoo, but Yogi Berra
was the Main Spokesman. A quote from
Yogi - "I didn't say all the things I
said".
While many people recall Berra's
long-standing promotion of the
chocolate beverage, the drink was
actually invented many years earlier,
in the 1920s. It wasn't until Yogi
Berra became friends with the owner of
the company in the 1950s, that
Yoo-Hoo became a household word. Berra
not only recruited a number of
investors to help finance a major
production facility, but also enlisted
the aid of many of his teammates, most
important Mickey Mantle, to help
promote the beverage. Their efforts
were very successful. In a short time
Yoo-Hoo became one of the most popular
refreshments in America and the chosen
drink of every diehard Yankees fan.
