During it’s original 1966 airing, How The Grinch Stole Christmas was originally sponsored by the Foundation For Full Service Banks since no other company was willing to sponsor the special and contribute to its budget. After the original airing, the plugs were removed however at the Foundation’s request due to the special’s message contradicting their services.
Much like the Coca Cola plugs for A Charlie Brown Christmas once were almost impossible to find on the internet, so were the Grinch’s plugs. Unfortunately unlike the Coca Cola plugs which can thankfully still be found today in good quality, the Full Service Bank plugs did not stick around on the internet for long. They were on YouTube around 2013 but were taken down due to a copyright strike and the uploader is being stingy about reuploading them to anything else. (I’ve tried asking again today but I’m loosing hope he’ll ever reupload them).
The only remains of the plugs existence as of now are forum postings, articles, and the original soundtrack still containing the instrumental music accompanying the plugs.
I am confident that with enough searching and proper archiving this time we can find them again, just as we found the complete original Charlie Brown print last year. Thank you for viewing and I hope you can help out.
