Onky
Muppets, Inc. produced three television advertisements for On-Cor Frozen Foods in 1962.
The ads featured Onky (a puppet who would inspire the character Mack in later ads). In one ad, Onky rides in a shopping cart fitted with a steering wheel on the child seat, the lower part filled with On-Cor Frozen Food products. He'd stop and say to the viewers "On-Cor! You'll want more! On-Cor Frozen Foods!" Another spot featured a human grocer played by Bill Gibson.[1]
Chicago advertising executive Bill Wright hired Henson to produce the ads. Wright also worked with Henson in representing Kraml Dairy.
