    I see Malt-O-Meal has it trademarked, but who originally said, maybe in a commercial, 'Good stuff, Maynard'?

    Question #31700. Asked by kitnkap. (Apr 16 03 4:10 AM)

    		according to this marketing site, the phrase was coined specifically for the 1970's malt-o-meal advertising campaign and went on to become a national catch phrase for anything that tasted good. it now appears to be used in relation to anything that is particularly pleasing. (not a phrase that has caught on down here - but then again we dont have malt-o-meal) :)
