Steven Seagal Does The Dew

Mountain Dew is a caffeinated, sweet, citrus-flavored soft drink produced by PepsiCo, Inc. It was invented in Marion, Virginia and first marketed in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1948, then by the Minges family in Fayetteville, North Carolina and across the United States in 1964. When removed from its characteristic green bottle, Mountain Dew is bright yellow-green and semi-opaque.

Steven Seagal (born April 10, 1952), is an American action movie actor, producer, writer, director, singer-songwriter, and activist. Seagal has become the target of internet-based criticism. However, the line between Seagal’s own work and a parody portrayal of Seagal is becoming increasingly blurry. The abovementioned commercials for Orange SA and Mountain Dew poke fun at his action aikido style. Seagal is sometimes considered to be in on the joke.

“Nothing like a picnic with cool Stag Beer”

Mr. Quincy Magoo [better known as Mr. Magoo] is a cartoon character created by John Hubley in 1949, for UPA. Hubley based the character on his former professor Francis Peabody Magoun, who bore some physical resemblance to the character. Voiced by Jim Backus (also famed in popular culture for his role as Thurston Howell III in the 1960s sitcom Gilligan’s Island), Quincy Magoo is a wealthy, short-statured retiree who gets into a series of sticky situations as a result of his nearsightedness, compounded by his stubborn refusal to admit the problem, in which the affected people (or animals) think that he is a lunatic, rather than just being near-sighted.

Pabst Brewing Company is an American company founded in 1844 by Jacob Best. Best known for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer [as well as Stag, a pale lager], it is historically associated with Milwaukee, Wisconsin where it was founded, although its corporate headquarters are currently in Woodridge, Illinois. Pabst retains a datacenter in San Antonio, Texas, the previous location of its headquarters. In 1999, the Pabst Brewing Company began transferring its production to Miller Brewing Company on a contract basis. In 2001, it closed its last brewery in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Ventriloquist’s dummy gets knocked out Nestlé Quik in the 1st round

Nesquik is a milk flavoring mix that was developed in the U.S. by 1948, and introduced there as Nestlé’s Quik. In the 1950s, it was launched in Europe as Nesquik. In countries using the “Quik” term (including the U.S. and Australia), the name was changed to the worldwide brand “Nesquik” in 1999.

Farfel the Dog was a hound dog puppet that appeared in commercials for Nestlé’s Quik from 1953 to 1965. Farfel, with assistance from ventriloquist Jimmy Nelson and fellow puppet Danny O’Day sang “N-e-s-t-l-e-s, Nestlé’s makes the very best, chocolate.”

Danny sang:”N-e-s-t-l-e-s, Nestlé’s makes the very best… Farfal sang: Chawk-lit!

Jimmy Nelson tells the story that he was nervous when he performed for the Nestle’s sponsors in the audition and his finger slipped off the control for Farfel’s mouth which caused it to shut with a loud “clap”. When he did the song for them again he was careful not to let his finger slip and was told they liked the version with the clap at the end and was asked to leave it in.

Super fruity Bonkers fruit candy makes a big hit

Bonkers was a candy offering from Nabisco in the mid 1980s. It consisted of chewable bubblegum-shaped candies with a fruity outside and an even fruitier filling. The candy came in a large rectangular package with several of them individually wrapped. Common flavors included grape, orange, strawberry, watermelon and chocolate.

The first use of “Nabisco” was in a cracker brand first produced by National Biscuit Company in 1901.

The best part of waking up is Folgers Singles in your cup

Folgers Coffee is a major brand of coffee in the US, part of the food and beverage division of Procter & Gamble. Folgers Crystals and Singles are available in Regular and Decaf.

The concept of pre-measured portions to be infused in disposable bags has also been applied to coffee, although this has not achieved such wide market penetration [as for tea] (similar to the market penetration of instant tea as compared to instant coffee).

Super Hero fights for Super Tide

Tide is the name of a popular laundry detergent on the market in the United States, Canada and other countries like Morocco. It is manufactured by Procter & Gamble. First introduced in test markets in 1946 with national distribution reached in 1949, Tide was touted as “America’s Washday Favorite.” It quickly gained dominance in the detergent market, dwarfing the sales of other P&G products, such as Ivory Snow, as well as the competition from Rinso. The latter two were soap products. Originally, Tide was a white powdered solid, but the brand line was later expanded to include a liquid form, an orange-tinted clear fluid; today, liquid Tide is generally a darkish blue color.
