I remember a commercial of the California Raisins singing “I heard it through the grapevine”. I loved that commercial as a kid.

My memory is the Michael Jackson California Raisins Claymation. I think it’s from 1989.

My California Raisin memory is when my middle son was young and he was crazy about the California Raisins. He would sing their jingle all of the time.

When my husband was a kid, he and his brothers and sister dressed up as California Raisins. The boys were the raisins and his sister was the box. They were in a parade. God I wish I had pictures of that
LOL

I was born and raised in CA. So when I left CA for FL to go to school, one of my friends gave me a California Raisin little plush doll and hung it on the rearview mirror of my car. 18 years later and 2 cars later, I still have that little raisin on my rearview mirror. It goes with me everywhere. It’s a little demented but it always reminds me of CA.

My favorite California raisin memory is watching the ads on TV and singing along (and dancing) as a child.
