Rascals Commercial By: Fad4Ren
Article Score: -6


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.

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

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

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).

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....

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.
