The imminent birth of Pebbles was a major worldwide sensation. TV networks around the world held viewer contests to pick names, weights, sexes, and other aspects of the birth. The night that Wilma told Fred she was pregnant (January 25, 1963), the end of the show featured a voiceover where a narrator said, "That's right, folks, the Flintstones ARE going to have a baby, and you can win a trip around the world!" The contest was to pick Pebbles' birth weight, and the winner, a Florida butcher, did receive a round the world trip plus $2,000 spending cash. Hanna and Barbera appeared live on the March 8 show to announce the winner (Pebbles was born on the February 22 show.) Of course, this voiceover has been removed from subsequent airings since that night.
