Rascals Commercial

This is about a candy from the 1980's that its commercial used to scare as a kid.

Okay! Growing up in the late 1980s we weird enough. But at the age of 5 there was a commercial on TV that scared me so bad. That I had freaking nightmares. NO KIDDDING!. It was the infamous Rascals bite sized chewy candies (not to be confused with the hard shelled fruit shape ones you see at a candy bulk store). I remember most of it so well, it's not even funny.

ANNOUNCER: They're coming!!! They're wild!!! They're rascally!!!

GIRL#1: They're here! They're here! AaaaaaaaaH!

ANNOUNCER: Rascals, new bite sized chewie candies!

(Boy is talking in a phone booth about colors)

ANNOUNCER: With real fruit flavors

BOY #2: Haven't seen any on Earth.

ANNOUNCER: Packed incredible numbers

BOY#3: There's so many of them.

(Girl #2 holds and empty bag then her head spins)

(Girl #3 says something)

ANNOUNCER: Get them, before they get you!!!

(Scary piano plays four notes)

Don't ask me how I remember all that!

Anyway I spend the last eight years on the Internet finding a video clip of that commercial. No luck since. I hope one day will post that commercial on Youtube or Retro Junk. That way I would figure why that commercial used to scare me.

This commercial reminds me of a hilarious video on YouTube called "Night of the Noodles". :lol:

WHERE CAN WE WATCH OLD EPISODES OF LITTLE RASCALS. MY MOM SAID SHE SAID THEY ARE PLAYING THIS SHOW IN GREECE. GEE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT!!!!!

You all will be happy to know that my search has finally came to an end. Last night I just found the long lost commercial that I have been looking for. And now I will post it on Retro Junk for the world to see.

To answer most of your questions. I do apologize I was just hoping someone could find this commercial and post it on Retro Junk. The other day I found some hope. Some one posted the Candilicious commercial. That commercial used to air right after the Rascals commercial. However the commercial was just shorter like the Rascals is. But I would perfer to see the full 30-second version.
I wish I did have more screenshots of the commercial but yet sadly I don't. So my search continues....

Interesting memory, but I have to agree with Ccan and Mysite; this should have been in the forums. Maybe you can try an article about “Scary Commercials of the 80’s”, or something like that, and include this one. (with plenty of screen shots).

I agree, this isn't an article, it reads like a forum post.

How is this considered an "article"?? It sounds more like a forum topic.

Sorry bout my grammar. I need to learn to spell and grammar check before posting! Hee Hee!

" But at the age of 5 there was a commercial on TV that scared me so bad. That I had freaking nightmares. NO KIDDDING!. "
There are like, 5 things wrong with this sentence. interesting Article though.

Thanks!

I'll try to upload it one of these days.

So weird! I actually just DID find this commercials on an old VHS tape the other day. And I had that same "Oh yeah...I remember these!" feeling. So weird that you posted this...I forget about something for over 10 years, only to find it like 3 days ago, then read about it here! Weird!

really? ...

That would be great if someone could find that commercial

kinda reminds me of how the ABC Bumpers scared me as a kid.
