HAMBURGER HELPER HAND MAKES A COMEBACK
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (Wireless Flash) Yet another 1970s icon is about to make a comeback the talking Hamburger Helper Hand. The Hand which appeared in Hamburger Helper ads from 1977 to 1991 returns today in a new series of commercials. Despite the 10-year absence, the Betty Crocker company claims the Hand is still one of TVs most recognizable icons even though its hard to portray the image of an animated talking hand. A former animator once told industry insiders, If you try too hard to give him the slightest nuance of motion, he wobbles involuntarily. We call that the Drunken Puppet routine.
