No memory of it whatsoever, which makes me think it might not have been available all over the country. If I'd seen a commercial like this one I know I would've wanted to try it. That it disappeared without a trace - and that they had to lower the price - implies that it failed within a fairly short time.

General Foods'Birds Eye division introduced "Sodaburst" in 1963- and then expanded the flavors from two to four........and they really didn't sell that well. Hence, "new lower prices" in 1965....and sales *still* weren't up to expectations. It was quietly discontinued in 1966.

@@juliemnm8273 I can't say when the ad came out, BUT as a camera collector, I assure you that Kodak still used the name "Brownie" on their lower priced cameras into the mid 1960s. The Brownie "Starmite" mentioned in the ad was from no earlier than mid 1960, and was made until 1965. So this HAS to be at earliest a 1960 ad. There was also the 1964 World's Fair Brownie (#312 Flash) for example. In other markets where Kodak used the "Brownie" brand into the 1980s.

The "Starmite" used Kodak #127 film (larger than 35mm!), And it was a flash camera (could be used without "bright sunlight", the flash could be used as a fill light.) Yeah, it WAS a cheap camera, not a "world beating", not to mention fixed focus lens. BUT it was capable of very good photos if used correctly. It's a 4ft to infinity camera, a "box camera" to be sure, But friggin' Ansel Adams shot stunning photos with a Kodak "vest pocket" camera that was TECHNICALLY not as good as the "Starmite". It's not "gear" it's skill. Source: Camera collector, Used many "good" and "cheap" cameras! Pentax K-1000 to current Nikon D-850 as well as many different Kodak "Brownies" and "Instamatics"! LOL.

"Brim" is still a brand, but now sold as "low acid", rather than just decaf.
