Always loved this one! Another good one, though possibly a local commercial from the 80’s was for “Ondioline! The Space-age Roofing Material!”
Maybe if we’re lucky Busta Rhymes will “accidentally” use the lyrics or samples from that commercial too!

no mention of Busta Rhymes using this? Busta Rhymes - Dangerous (Official Video) [Explicit] - YouTube

Busta has given these PSAs credit through the years for the inspiration of “Dangerous”
p.s. if you put the link on its own line, it embeds the video

Hmm… I dunno. ‘Don’t eat us, we’re not candy’ sounds like just the kinda trick singing candy would try to pull.

I remember thinking when I’d see this on WPIX that the people who made this were probably on some kind of drugs.

Such a great song. I would stay up at night singing that song to myself. In retrospect, it might have been the candy.

Oh well, I found the other commercial I was looking for, but I guess it fits the category of “rosy retrospection”, and it was from the 90’s, not the 80’s…
15 minutes in or so…
