Handi-Snacks Cheez'n Crackers are FantaSTICK!!!

Here is an old Kraft Handi-Snacks Cheez'n Crackers commercial from 1995. It features "Stick Figure" who is the famous plastic red stick you use to spread the cheese with. He's a pretty funny guy! Was he in any other commercials or did Kraft fire him since they thought he was too cheesy? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Stick Figure has some great lines such as:

          "My rooms got a sunroof...I can eat crackers in bed...AND I get to splash around in a tub full of cheese!!"

          (Acts like he's JAWS) "Pretty scary huh? Oooh! I'm shakin' in my cheese!!"

          "Give me all your cheese! This is a STICK up!!"

          "It's great being me. Only one small problem. NO ROOM FOR A BRAIN!!!"

          "Enough with the yackin'...it's time for snackin'!!"

          "Handi-Snacks. FantaSTICK!!"

I used to love eating these during lunchtime when I was a kid. My mom didn't buy them too often so whenever I'd open my lunch bag and see the cheez'n crackers goodness, I'd be so happy. I haven't tried them in sooooo long. Are they any good anymore???

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???

Popsicle: A frozen drink on a stick!

Who doesn't have great memories of eating a Popsicle stick on a hot summer day as a kid? The best part was that there were TWO Popsicle sticks rather than one, which made it double the fun!

It just so happens that on this day today, March 11, 1986, the Popsicle went from a two-stick pop to a one-stick pop. We couldn't find many facts to corroborate this but we thought we'd blog about it anyway so we had an excuse to post a hot chick sucking a Popsicle!

Were you the "little-licker" that precisely licked back-n-forth between each pop until it split up the middle and then you double-fisted each pop??!!? Or were you the "deep-throater" and you sucked the whole thing dry till it was gone??!?!?!

Dizzy Grizzlies: Now that's a double snack!

Here is a Dizzy Grizzlies cookie commercial from 1995. These cookies were a spin-off of Teddy Grahams. The cookie consists of a graham cracker shaped as a gnarly Grizzly Bear who is shreddin' it up by rollerblading, biking, or skateboarding. The back side of the cookie has a layer of either chocolate or vanilla frosting mixed with rainbow sprinkles.

As an added bonus, on the back of each specially marked box has a 3-D puzzle made from magic sprinkles! We actually took a screen grab from the video to see if the 3-D magic eye puzzle would still work.

Guess what? It works!! And we discovered a secret word next to the bear (which wasn't mentioned in the commercial). Go give it a try and let us know what word you see!

Stare at this 3-D magic image. What do you see?

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!

NEW Cheese Ritz Bits: Every bit as good as a Ritz

This is when Cheese Ritz Bits were brand new. I guess this is before Nabisco made Ritz Bits Sandwiches which have different fillings such as Peanut Butter or Cheese. These were just cheese-flavored crackers. Supposedly, Ritz crackers were named after Ritz-Carlton because it conjured up the image of wealth and glamour.

Btw, the Ritz Bits thief at the end of this commercial is the scientist/doctor guy.

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.

I love it when it TWIZZLES

Here is an old Twizzlers candy commercial from 1992. It features the famous Twizzlers lips! Do they still use these lips in Twizzlers ad campaigns?? The lips are dreaming about......you guessed right! Twizzlers!!!

Sunkist Fun Fruit Trees grow Fun Fruits of course!

I remember this commercial used to be on all the time. Those Sunkist Fun Fruit trees remind me of the trees in Wizard of Oz. Except these trees are nice and they can't stop laughing!

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??

Even city folk like their TWIX

These Twix commercials used to be on all the time. We have a few but just putting up one for now. After all these years I still know this song word for word.

Twizzlers make me very happy!

I love the way they taste so chewy!
