Who wants rich chocolate Ovaltine?

[idgiehkt]

Not Meeeeeeeeeee.

Can there be a more annoying commercial? :eyes:

1. roflmao

just after I posted this the "head on - apply directly to the forehead" commercial came on.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[texanwitch]

2. I will join you.

That commercial is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

[idgiehkt]

3. it's a relic from another time

back before Ayds was taken off the market. :hi:

[murielm99]

4. The Sunny Delight commercials

are bad too.

And that stuff tastes like crap.

[idgiehkt]

5. ooh, Sunny D

I grew up on that stuff...now it tastes like liquid sherbet with plastic in it. :shrug:

[hfojvt]

7. Wasn't it once 100% fruit juice?

I originally bought it because I hate orange juice. Then it got marketed, the price went up and the juice content went down. Now it's 5% juice. But I think this was early or mid 90s. So scary to think that you 'grew up' with it. What are you, seventeen or something? Maybe it was sold in California or Florida long before it came to Wisconsin.

13. for clarity's sake

Originally manufactured as Sunny Delight by Doric Foods of Mount Dora, Florida in 1964, it grew so popular that additional plants were built in California and Ohio, in 1974 and 1978, respectively. In 1983, Sundor Brands bought out Doric Foods; Sundor brands was then purchased by Procter & Gamble in 1989. In 2005, Sunny Delight was spun off into the independent Sunny Delight Beverages Company (SDBC). The beverage is distributed by Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc.

this is truly gross:

Although many consumers may experience visual and olfactory perceptions of the drink as a type of orange juice, the product itself states that it contains less than 2% juice, its main ingredients being water and corn syrup.

9. I like how the ad agency came up with the "Sunny D" nickname...

from the get go in order to create the impression that it was such a familiar and beloved product that the appellation just "spontaneously" arose from its consumers. Just like "W" for that criminal in the white house.
Technically, "like" is not the correct term. I hate everything that ad agencies do :)

[idgiehkt]

17. like "KFC"

they manufacture hipness now.

edit: sometimes I wonder if that was the real impetus behind MTV, etc.

[mitchum]

21. Exactly...

at one time "hip" really did mean something.
Now, thanks to the marketing industry "hip" just means "one of the first dogs to hear Dr Pavlov's bell"

[idgiehkt]

23. yep, but now Dr. Pavlov has ringtones on his I-phone.

sorry.

:rofl: :spray: :rofl:

[mitchum]

24. LOL!!!

nicely done :)

[KitchenWitch]

6. blech!

Give me Nestle's Quik or Hershey's Syrup any day over that drek.

Ovaltine fucking tastes like chemicals.

[hfojvt]

8. Still? They claimed they improved the taste.

I have never had ovaltine, but I never was a big fan of either chocolate or milk, but often a quart of chocolate milk was my purchase of choice when in the middle of a long bicycle ride or road trip.

[Connonym]

10. definitely no commercials more annoying

and I won't buy shit that advertises so heavily on right-wing radio. They can advertise all they want on Air America and it still won't change my mind.

[GenDem]

11. Who is actually drinking that crap?

I've never, ever even so much as tasted it, and have never known anyone that has either. :shrug:

[WinkyDink]

12. Captain Midnight does!

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. Those ads are horrible.

The people are so Stepford.

[Adsos Letter]

15. One of the childhood memories I have is getting up every morning and drinking a cup of ovaltine ...

with my dad...

'course...my dad hated me...

:D

[SPKrazy]

16. Double barf....

:rofl:


Oh, I didn't even know they still made that stuff :puke:

ouch

it hurts :(

[Zomby Woof]

18. B-E ... S-U-R-E ... T-O ...D-R-I-N-K... Y-O-U-R... O-V-A-L-T-I-N-E....

"A commercial? SONOFABITCH!!!"

[SeattleGirl]

19. ROFL!

:rofl:

[Zomby Woof]

20. Another great Ovaltine movie moment...

Frau Blücher: Would the doctor care for a brandy before retiring?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No. Thank you.
Frau Blücher: Some varm milk... perhaps?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No... thank you very much. No thanks.
Frau Blücher: Ovaltine?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: NOTHING! Thank you! I'm a little - tired!
Frau Blücher: Then I vill say... goodnight.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Goodnight.

[idgiehkt]

22. now that's product placement done right!
