Wakey Flakes Prop Cereal

Like a lot of people in TV Land, The Bradys ate Wakey Flakes, and were true to The Wakey line of products. 





It would be interesting to know more about these generic labels, and where they initially came from.  At some point it looks like lots of productions had access to a printer to add font to a similar landscape design for all kinds of prop products.

    I mentioned this in another comment but there's a well known Press company that has made prop pieces for film since the 50's or 60's called Earl Hayes Press. They did/do just about any printed paper product for everyday props like magazines, cigarettes, and food labels.

    There's no Wakey Flakies for sale in the 2020's unfortunately but they still make prop food and labels.

    They seem to focus more on parodied versions of real manufacturers these days than the originally named/made up content that was printed for classic TV.
