In conclusion, Beep looks and sounds like a fake product from a TV show in 1992. being used by Gen-X to cynically mock the products of atomic age Boomers, complete with stock string music and corny voiceover narration

From the mid-60's through the 90's, Beep was sold under license by dairies all over Canada. By the mid 90's, sales began to tail off, and distribution rapidly fell. By the time the 2000's rolled around, it was primarily sold only in Nova Scotia.
