Time for Timer was a series of animated public service announcements produced by ABC which aired on Saturday mornings in the 1970’s. They featured Timer, the singing cheese snack food who taught kids about nutrition and hygiene. The most well known segment is probably when Timer became a cowboy in “Hanker for a Hunka Cheese”. This should bring back memories for a few of you.
Oh and then there was that time when the Family Guy’s Peter Griffin ran into a cracked out Timer at 3:30am, who was making a racket next door.
UPDATE: Timer is a character from the 1973 ABC After School Special “The Incredible, Indelible, Magical, Physical Mystery Trip”. Does anyone know were I can find a copy of that video? I remember watching that one over an over as a kid.

Wow, I had totally forgotten about that. Maybe I can trace my cheese lust back to those public service announcements.
OMG sitting here at work thinking “I hanker for a hunk o’ cheese” had to show all these 60’s babies that this 70’s baby wasn’t nuts! Thanks for the cool flashback!!
