Are these real merch items from The Andy Griffith Show or did we make them up?
Sheriff Andy Taylor was once on a box of Grape-Nut cereal!
When Andy Griffith started his series, his main priority was ensuring viewers got the best production quality. According to Ron Howard, Griffith was a natural leader, and the show was vital to him. As a result, he wanted the audience to focus on the show itself and not, for example, branding.
It's one of the reasons why only a few pieces of merchandise were tied to the show during its run. Yet, due to its growing popularity, fans wanted a portion of the classic production in their homes. There were a few more items added after the series ended, and we want to know if you can guess which were real, and which we made up.
