Surprisingly though, I just found the commercial video on Youtube. It's saying 1981, but that's when I was born so I guess it ran for long enough.
Check it.
Be warned, it's so 80's it may give you a rat tail and/or mullet.

The 80'sness of it, mostly.

But then again, they are talking about pulling out the stick and popping it your mouth. Combined with the 80'sness, it's a recipe for Nickelback's success.

BTW, I don't mean "disgusting" in the traditional sense. I mean shameful. Makes me hang my head in dissapointment and shame. lol.

Definitely a pretty retarded ad though not really different from a lot of ads from the time. What's the Nickleback connection here?

That song Nickelback has on the radio right now, something about "you look so much cuter with something in your mouth".
It reminds me of that juicy fruit commercial.

And that's never a good thing.
