Stephanie VWL sent these links my way, and hooooow did I not realize how HILARIOUS these were when they first aired? Because I mean, REALLY!
They remind me of nothing less than the Simpsons episode where some artiste makes Homer a Mr. Plow commercial that airs on late-night TV and the family stays up late to watch it, and it's just all randomness, kinda like a cologne ad. And Bart or Lisa asks, "Dad? Was that your commercial?" And Homer says "I...don't know."
It's really a shame this ad was wasted on WHITE CHOCOLATE, which is a contradiction in terms.

Oh my god, I totally remember that commercial. I think sometimes the soundtrack goes through my brain when I'm feeling all spacey.
Had no idea Nestle was so influenced by Maxfield Parrish. Huh.
Oh good lord, I remember that commercial! I thought it was hilariously ridiculous!
Not to get all Sinbad on you but hearing "Creamy Whiiiiiite, Dreamy Whiiiiiiite" over a bunch of agressively caucasian people and ice skating does make me wonder if this foolishness sold very well in say... Compton.
Hey now! That was my favorite candy for a while. White chocolate and almonds are W-O-N-D-E-R F-U-L dah, dah, dah, dah.
I remember this too - every word. (It would be nice is all the space in my head full of jingles could be used for something useful, but noooo.)I love the ahhhh-ahhhhh... after "dreamy white." So 80's!
My fav part of that Mr. Plow episode was Linda Rondstat in the hot tub with Barney singing the Plow King jungle in Spanish. :D :D
