I can actually remember 2 different variants of this commercial.  During the 1970's, "stop-action animation" was very popular.

In one, it was one of a series of Levi commercials.  They showed a guy moving through a surreal world, where he is the only one that seems normal, with the song "Mule SKinner Blues" playing in the background.  In one of them, I remember the "driving a car with no car" stunt.

In another (and I actually have a copy of this commercial on MPG) has Ronald McDonald doing this, after The Professor gives him a steering wheel.

There were a lot of others like this.  I even remember in 5th grade taking an animation class, and doing these kinds of stunts myself.  We used a good old Super 8mm camera.

I remember "Seven Seas" did a series of commercials where they claimed their brand "won't sink to the bottom of the bowl". I think it was in the early 70's, but it might have been the mid to late 60's. All of their old commercials ended with the sound of a bo'sun's whistle.

A British jingle that came to mind today was for Trebor Extra Strong Mints

'Trebor mints are a minty bit stronger'  

To which we always added 'Stick 'em up your bum and they last a bit longer'!

Another memorable one (for Brits anyway) was for R White's Lemonade - the secret lemonade drinker. So popular it was actually resurrected for a while in the 1990's. OK anoraks - our "secret lemonade drinker" was Ross McManus, the father of Declan - better known to you, I and even himself as Elvis Costello...wonder if Elvis has ever done a version of that jingle?!
End Quote

That's a classic advert. The guy secretly walks down the stars (looking like Elvis Costello) walks over the dog and shushes him. Walks to the fridge and pours the lemonade into a glass and his wife catches him drinking it - simple yet effective. The 90s came and surreal twists occurred at the end of each advert - Here's a couple . . .

- His wife doesn't come from behind the fridge but a disco club scene starts up and he gets snogged by a girl.

- TV football pundits Saint and Greavsie walk in on the man dressed in his wife's nightie!

- A shot of the cartoon Mr Benn appears at the end of the advert!

                                                                                     I remember the instant drink/"fruit character" commericals you mentioned. I liked them a lot, but was disappointed when the ad campaign did not last very long. I am surprised they never became more popular, and had their own series of ads, on the same order as "Kool Aid Man" and the "Fruit of the Loom Guys". I even had a T-shirt with the likeness of one of the characters. His name was "Choo-Choo Cherry", and he was a humanoid "cherry-man" with a train engineer's hat on his head. LOL! I used to wear it during T-Ball practice, and all my team-mates called me "Choo-Choo" as a result!  :-[ Thanks for the memories! Sincerely,Steve.
