Hi all,

I'd love to see a video of an old TV commercial from the 70's. I think it's for the "Cadbury Coffee Ripple" chocolate bar. I can find no trace of it on Google, YouTube, etc. I can't let it go. Help!

Here's what I recall of the ad:

Scene: winter cabin in the woods. much snow

Door blows open. Enter guy in winter gear carrying mail sack

Guy: Got some mail!
Cabin Buddy: What d'ya get?
Guy: (pulling gooey hands out of box) Think it was a lemon meringue pie. What d'you get?
Buddy: (pan to box full of beautifully lined up chocolate bars) Looks like a new Cadbury bar. Coffee Ripple...
Guy: Trade ya.
Buddy: (silence)
Guy: Trade you my pillow with a picture of Niagara Falls on it.
Buddy: (chewing) mmmmm...
Guy: My aftershave lotion... (sings) Jungle Beast!
Buddy: (savouring) smack smack
Guy: (with increasing despair) My cowboy clock...
Buddy: Yum.
Guy: (plaintively) My walrus-jaw bookends?

The end

Sound familiar? Anybody got it? It would be great to see it again!

Regards,

Carl

    I remember the commercial vividly ... but not the chocolate bar. Seeing this ad, and the one where the Vikings find a treasure chest full of Wunderbar on the beach, would make my life complete. Sadly, old Canadian TV commercials don't pop up that often on YouTube it seems.

      This URL probably won't last forever, but you can see the Coffee Ripple bar in the upper left:

        It's missing the cabin in the snow and the lemon meringue pie … but you can see the pillow with the picture of Niagara Falls on it, and … JUNGLE BEAST!!

          I was trying to look for the "Miss Party Surprise Baby Party" commercial

            I fail to see what that has to do with this thread.
