Gibbons became popular initially due to his published books during a back-to-nature movement that was popular in the United States at the time. Those books include Stalking the Wild Asparagus, Stalking the Blue-Eyed Scallop, and Stalking the Healthful Herbs.

His success was driven furthermore by his commercial for Post Grape-Nuts cereal, where he asked viewers, "Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible."

He was in a cereal commercial, where he said "Tastes like hickory nuts."

How strange and compelling!

Figured out a way to sneak up on wild asparagus and pounce on it before it could run away.
