What would YOU do with a hundred grand?

Here is a classic Nestle 100 Grand candy bar commercial from early 1996. This is the shorter version of the "Beauty Pageant" commercial which was popular in the mid-1990's.

Basically the host asks three beauty pageant contestants what they would do with a hundred grand? The first one says she would buy everyone a puppy. The second one would sprinkle flower seeds all over the world. The last one would eat it!

What would YOU do with a hundred grand???

Lose yourself in the taste!

We haven't been able to find a whole lot of info on Centrum's DynaTrim but did uncover some facts.  The commercial doesn't explain much except that you can lose weight from eating DynaTrim, which is actually an "Appetite Suppressant". 

According to a Drug Store News article published on January 21, 1991 the makers of DyanTrim "threw $2.5 million in advertising behind its new product, DynaTrim, on Dec. 30 and 31 alone, said product manager Laurie Shanower, just so people would wake up Jan. 1 knowing about--and (the company hopes) reaching for -- DynaTrim. That was in addition to the $10 million spent since the TV, radio and print ad campaign broke Dec. 12. Altogether, $45 million in trade and consumer advertising will be spent in the first 13 months of DynaTrim's quest to topple Ultra Slim*Fast from its meal replacement throne, Shanower said."

That's a lot of money even for the early 90's! And a pretty catchy song too! Looks pretty tasty if you ask us, but we wonder if it works. Did anyone try this? Let us know!

Snickers really satisfies you

I'm in the mood for a Snickers bar right now. I'm snowed in and don't feel like going outside so instead I'm just going to post a Snickers commercial from 1988. It features a busy college girl talking about how she uses Snickers to stay awake during those long nights of studying. Enjoy!

There's nothing 2 sticks of TWIX can't fix

Here's another Twix candy commercial. They all had very similar themes back then. Basically showing city/working class people who are on the go and that they can function very efficiently while eating Twix. Another great song with some great dance moves.

Keep on Movin' with Peanut Butter TWIX

I remember these Twix commercials used to be on all the time. I still know the song word for word. In this commercial they mention how they have the new Peanut Butter Twix which were always my favorite kind. I believe they were discontinued for many years but think they might have come back recently. I'll check next time I'm in my local convenience store.

Twister from Good Humor goes round and round

These Twister ice cream bars look so good! They consist of a chocolate and vanilla swirl with a strawberry core and a chocolate back. Are these still around? I don't think I've ever eaten one before.

Just say "WHEN" Ernie!

When I was a kid in the 80's I always wondered where the Keebler Elves lived. I always thought that they lived in a random tree nearby my house. Unfortunately, I eventually found out that they were just some money making ad campaign and that they never actually lived at all and if they did live they didn't live in a tree but instead lived in the brain of some douche bag douche. Anyway..... the mass-produced conveyor belt cookies still taste pretty good if ya ask me!

Cocoa Krispies w/ a young Brian Austin Green

Here is a Kellogg's Cocoa Krispies cereal commercial that is from 1987. Notice who that young actor is? It's Brian Austin Green from the original Beverly Hills 90210!

Back then, every Cocoa Krispies box had free M&M's candies included. That's a lot of chocolate!

With every bite so chocolaty, oh everybody wants my Cocoa Crispies!

 Yes, another cereal commercial. Very catchy tune!

Boy and bunny save the world's chocolate

The title says it all.

Cocoa Puffs and a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt

This commercial features a very young Joseph Gordon-Levitt who is best known for his role as Tommy Solomon in "3rd Rock from the Sun". This was in 1992, so he was about 11 years old here. In only a few years time is when he is cast as Tommy Solomon.

Sonny makes these kids go cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs! All strange things are happening to them!!

How to get laid: According to these 3 Musketeers

Here is a 3 Musketeers commercial that is from 1987. These 3 guys are at a dance party. They came up with 3 points they need to follow in order to pick up chicks:

Point 1 - Make them come to you.
Point 2 - Never look hungry.
Point 3 - Know when Points 1 & 2 aren't working!!

Haha, Radical ! The people at this dance party are dancin' all wacky to the awesome music! Maybe if you follow their Points, you will get lucky! I wonder if they did?!

Why don't singing M&M's jump out of my computer??

I love the old computer in this commercial and how the 2 kids act like a typical brother and sister from the 80's. Also, that song is rad. That's what I miss. Really awesome songs in commercials. What happened to them??
