Subject: Commercial from the late 70's for fruit
Written By: Robillard (Guest) on 10/17/02 at 08:04 a.m.
Hi-
Anyone remember a commercial (I think it was the late 70's - it might have been as late as 80/81) for some fruit growers association?
It had an guy dressed up as a "martian", in a purple or blue suit, standing next to an Apollo looking mockup covered in tinfoil- the dialog went something like:
"Hi, I'm Robillard, I'm from Mars. All we eat is candy bars."
(opens the Apollo to reveal a plate of fruit)
"What's this? Earth fruit?"
(bites into an apple)
"Mmmm. This is good. It is better than good - it is yummy and not bad! Wait till the other martians hear about this!"
I would love to find out more about this, and maybe find a copy of the original commercial.
Thanks

I can't say as I remember that one, but you reminded me of the old "Grapes - Nature's Candy" ads...
