When I was in the Army from 94 to 98, we used "Miles Gear" which was our laser tag type of practice stuff that we put on our rifles. I wonder if this is the same Miles?

To follow up on Chocks Vitamins becoming Flintstones Vitamins, Miles Laboratories was one of the sponsors of The Flintstones, alternating with, of all things, Winston Cigarettes. They introduced Chocks as a chewable fruit flavored vitamin for kids on The Flintstones. They later came up with Flintstones Vitamins to capitalize on the show. For a while, the two existed side by side, but Flintstones won out, and exist still today, outlasting Miles Laboratories, which is now owned by Bayer.
