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 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.

Snap Crackle Pop makes the world go round

Rice Krispies (called Rice Bubbles in Australia) is a brand of breakfast cereal that has been produced by Kellogg’s since 1928. They are made of rice grain which is cooked, dried and toasted. These kernels bubble and rise in a manner which forms very thin walls. When the cereal is exposed to milk or juices, these walls tend to collapse suddenly, creating the famous “Snap, crackle and pop” sounds. This is in contrast to puffed rice, which was introduced in 1904.

Snap, Crackle and Pop! are the cartoon mascots of Kellogg’s breakfast cereal Rice Krispies (Rice Bubbles in Australia).
