This morning I enjoyed David Goetzl’s commentary on the Klondike bar ad in the show “My Name is Earl.” I have not watched the show at all this season & missed this ad entirely. I didn’t even know Alyssa Milano joined the cast. Goetzl writes:
For many, the vanilla ice cream wrapped in a thin chocolate crust only catches their attention when they casually peer into the freezer at a 7-Eleven or Exxon Mart. There, the silver packages with the polar bear logo chill next to the Chipwiches and Drumsticks.
As a Gen X, I recall the jingle well; Klondike is having a, “What would you do for a Klondike bar” contest. I’m against using pop-songs to sell ads (except for iPod ads); what is wrong with silly jingles? I won’t run out and buy a Klondike, though. Was never much of a fan. I’m more for Drumsticks.
I ventured into Hulu to find the spot. Here it is: Camdenites Part 1
