Do you remember the Humphries?

I was a kid of about 7 when we had Humphries all around us. It was something to do with milk and we had red and white straws. Can't remember what the whole concept was about.
"Watch out, watch out, watch out, watch out......there's a humphry about"

Answer:
the humphries used to steal milk,that is why you had to watch out for them,it was to get kids to drink their milk,drinka pint of milk a day was also a slogan used to sell milk
Watch out watch out there`s a Humph about Ye
Something to do with milk, as I remember it. (Hurry up or Humphrey will get your milk). I think the straws were so you could get the milk before he did!
Oh yeah I do. Everytime the ad came on TV, there were the red and white straws marching along trying to snaffle someones pint of milk. It was a real neat advertisment from the Unigate dairy because of the amount of british stars that were lining up to play along side these striped bandits.

Another fact was that almost every kid knew the song by heart and would gleefilly shout it out at the top of their lungs everytime the advert came on TV.

Aaaaah happy times!
Never called them "Humphries" but yeah - they were really called "Flavor Straws" and the red-striped ones made Strawberry Milk, the brown - striped ones made Chocolate.
These didn't last all that long - the flavoring was not really good - but an interesting concept,
