You may have thought that only the government was into the whole sinister mind control program way back when, but think again. Did you know that Libby's, makers of fined canned food products in the USA also decided to control the minds of hip teens back in 1966? It's true.
They did it with canned Sloppy Joe.
That's right. The Sloppy Joe. First, they hit the airwaves with a black and white spot introducing a new fad dance called "The Sloppy Joe," wherein unsuspecting teens ate cans of Libby's Sloppy Joe mixture, ingesting weirdo mind control crap that turned them into corporate automatons sporting Sloppy Joe shirts in "Beef," "or Pork."
Bone chilling, is it not?
If that weren't enough, Libby's then did a 180 in full color. This time their subversive plot came with groovy lyrics, complete with colorful images of the shit-like looking mixture simmering up in a pan. Did they eat it? Oh boy, did they ever! Sock hops at home were never the same after Libby's mind control briefly took over, which happened to be right before those filthy hippies out in San Francisco took over with acid and forgetting to bathe, only to cover up the stench with patchouli.
Yuck!
But don't take my word for it. Dig the heady vibes from the original commercials right here. We are lucky Libby's does not make Sloppy Joe in a can anymore. One can only imagine the horror of such a thing in today's modern society.
Sloppy Joe subversion. Tasty!
Don't eat the brown Sloppy!
