Your favourite commercials

Some classic Canadian commercials feature the Caramilk chocolate bar, and the advertising slogan "How DO they get the rich creamy caramel inside the Caramilk bar?".

This is a well-known version to this day, though not seen on tv probably in 25 years or more:

Another Caramilk classic, my favourite, and apparently the only Canadian commercial to ever win a Clio award (it was also a winner at Cannes, apparently):

1971 was a very good year for Hot Wheels! Many of the "Redliners" (1968-77 vintage Hot Wheels) that are the most sought after by collectors came out that year. Particularly the Classic Cord, Beach Bomb ('69 VW bus), and the S'Cool Bus -- all of which can be seen in the commercial. I'm looking for a Snake and Mongoose, preferably still in the original blister card. I had the blue Mongoose II from 1973. Sadly the remnants of my childhood Redliners were such beaters that decided to start all over and I sold them to a friend some ten years ago. I just recently acquired a Classic Cord, something that I didn't even have when I was a kid.

This comes under the old Dirty Harry move line, "I gots to know," what does a nice Snake & Mongoose go for these days?

Based on the completed auctions on eBay, I'd say an original loose Snake or Mongoose in Near Mint to Mint condition would be in the $50-100 range. A pair of Snake and Mongoose cars in the original blister cards and signed by Tom McEwen and Don Prudhomme recently sold for $550. On a more affordable level the Snake and Mongoose were also reissued in the 1990s and they can be had for $10-25 each.

EDIT: I still have my old Mongoose II redliner!

Not as much as I thought, still, $0.50- $50.00 thats only a a 10,000% prophet if I had kept them!

Absolutely wonderful! That's true advertising, and who can blame you.

I used to watch her afternoon TV show in the 60s with my mom. Ms. Shore and Mike Douglas kept us very entertained.

Long Version Breitling

The Breitling commercial apparently went over so well, they now have a longer version. Got to love it, beautiful women, beautiful airplane, and a beautiful bike. I will leave it up to the ladies in the forum to decide if the man is beautiful! [video=youtube;UwXR87-m_4s]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwXR87-m_4s[/video]
