Old TV Commercial Filter: "Bluuuuueberry! Straaaawberry!"
February 3, 2011 5:08 PM Subscribe
Old TV Commercial Filter: A man walks around an orchard (or somewhere) with a pack of stuff shouting "Blueberry! (or Blueberries!), Strawberry! (or Strawberries!)" in a sing-song voice. Possibly for Smuckers? What was this an ad for and can I find it on the internet?
Does he also yell "Red apple!... Luscious grape!"?
Damn, I remember that too, circa 1994, only because a friend of mine used to like to recite it.
I think it was for some kind of chewy fruit candy, like Bonkers or Skittles or Starburst. Or could it have been Pop Tarts?

Yeah, I can't find it, damn. I seem to remember he was pushing around a wooden cart full of all of these different fruits..

In '74, my friend also sang that commercial to me: an animated pushcart vendor singing (basso profundo) "Strawberry, Blueberry, Cherry." I'd swear in court that I saw the archived commercial once, but I find nothing on YouTube.

I think it's a commercial for Pop Tarts. Rings a bell, not sure if it's online.

fozzie33: That's not the commercial I'm thinking of, and I don't think it's the one the FP was referring to (assuming the FP and I mean the same one). I think it was a live-action spot, not animated.

I remember this commercial, and hearing kids imitating it. Much older than the 90s, I'd say 70s -- but I can't remember what was being advertised, just the guy walking around alone, calling out his fruits, filmed from above, maybe from a second-story window.
