Does anyone remember Hershey's Whatchamacallit chocolate bars?
I barely even remember this ad but it was a really well run advertising campaign.

    I think they still exist today. Can't say I've ever had one, though.

      I remember getting one while trick-or-treating about 8 or 9 years ago. I think that's the only one I've ever seen.

        Yep, they still make them. In fact, I can go to the vending machine here at my work and get one right now. They are delicious.

          those are my favorite chocolate bars actually. Whenever I'm in a gas station that sells them, I make a point to get one and a cream soda.

            I loved them as a kid. However, I think they changed the recipe a bit, and they seem to ahve gone downhill lately.

              It's one of those "like the commercial, hate the product" situations with me.

                  I never had a Whatchamacallit either Funky Guy. I don't even know if Whatchamacallits even got this far up north. :D

                      Awesome ad. I loved that style of animation.
