It’s Fudgie!!! (AngusMcguyver)

Remember all those commercials growing up that made us smile or laugh? There are hundreds of commercials like this and NBG has picked 5 in no special order. Some of these are guaranteed to get you singing along and have the song stuck in your head. All of them will remind you of that special time growing up and what it was like to be a kid – something as adults we often forget how to do.

Which commercial was your favorite? One on the list or one we didn’t mention?

1. Krazy Glue

The words “Super glue” or “Krazy Glue” immediately bring to mind a construction worker with a hard hat dangling off of an “I” beam with his feet kicking. I think it’s safe to say this is one of the greatest inventions ever (next to Duct Tape!) and I’ve repaired thousands of things with super glue. One of my favorite things to say is “Where’s the superglue?”!

2. It’s Slinky!

Just saying those two words, conjures an audio to play on loop in the head:

“What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs
and makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing!
Everyone knows it’s Slinky.
It’s Slinky, it’s Slinky,
It’s fun, it’s a wonderful toy.
It’s Slinky, it’s Slinky, it’s fun,
It’s a wonderful toy.
It’s fun for a girl or a boy. ”

What usually happened with Slinky is about 15 minutes of trying to get it to work down a flight of stairs – which never happened – and then spending the rest of the Slinky’s life trying to get the kink out of it, so it would function. Has anyone successfully got the Slinky to go from the top of a flight of stairs to the bottom or had a Slinky that didn’t have a kink in it with a day?
