We're Not Candy! (1970)

I remember a longer version of this song saying "This is serious...serious...We could make you delirious..." yet when I was young I did not understand that they were pills. They did not look like pills, nor did the bottle have the prescription sign. I probably would have guessed better if symbols were used.

What's that? It's not 1970s but it's 1983 to be aired this PSA. It was featured on "vhone83" or I think it's "Best Week Ever".

.....Harmonizing? Singing drugs? I actually saw this PSA on the replay by VH1, and I thought it was..... strange.

i know they're not candy, but gosh they look so fine and dandy

I remember this one,and We're not drinkable.

this was from the 80s

Why is this not it's full-leanth? Anyway,





This is serious! SERIOUS! We could make you delirious! DELIRIOUS! Too much of us is dangrous (Busta Rhymes) No, No, No, NO! Doctors tell the pharmacy. PHARMACY! Swipe the pills that you will need! And he knows the harm that we can be! WE CAN BE! If we're not taken carefully! NO, NO, NO, NO! We're not candy! Believe us! Even though we look so fine and dandy, when you're sick, we come in handy, BUT, We're Not Candy! OOH NO!!

Wow... Harmonising medicine. If I ever needed a perscription, it'd be these guys all the way. Then again, would I feel guilty about eating them>

The Talking Drugs are right!!!

Like Pandacookie said, this commercial was first shown in the late 70's, but it was also shown frequently in the 80's.

was this on vh1's "i iove the 80's"?

I think the Jim Henson Company did this.

Yes, agbrown83 has right !

It clearly says on the commercial that it came out back in 1983. So why the heck is this commercial in the 1970s page? Can someone put it in the right category which is the 1980s?

yelp it was the same psa
will now i know what it looks likes

ok god please dont let be the one
if so i am hooked on this pas

i never seen the video of it but did download the audio of it from some 70 reto page

i have heard this pas about 50

once you hear it
it stay in yoour head and you find your self humming it

The Candyman released the pills from that container!

Funny yet very good info

Mr3urious (and everyone else that said they saw this clip in the 80s), it certainly was shown in the early 80's, and quite a lot, too! I was going by a small article I once read about this commercial. The article said it was made in the 70's. There were a lot of commercials made in the 70's that were shown frequently in the 80's, like some of the the "Time For Timer" shorts, or the Tootsie Roll and Tootsie Pop commercials, or even the Life cereal commercial with Mikey.

^Speaking of which, FYI, those ARE candy!

True, there is the possibility that the commercial had a long run. Take the Tootsie Roll and Tootsie Pop commercials for instance.

Someone had to be taking a lot of pills in order to see them singing.

Perhaps it was used in 1983 as well!

VH1 is wrong. That commercial was made in the late 70's.

YES! \m/ It's abount time they started to put this in.
yea nuttin like trippy pills to start singing for you even though you havn't takem yet! lol

HA HA HA HA, dont you have to TAKE the pills in order to get the to start talking?

LOL how inappopriately trippy
