Does anyone remember a commercial with a dancing cheese man? He danced around talking about healthy snacks or something like that. He was made out of toothpicks and cubes of cheese.

I'm pretty sure the PSA you're referring to was the one shown on the episode for "1982" (since that was the year that particular commercial aired) in the excellent 10-part "I Love the 80's" series that premiered on VH-1 just last month. Go to VH-1's official web site to find out when they'll be showing the one-hour episode for 1982 again, and be sure to set your VCR, because they actually show that commercial in its entirety - sure brought back some memories! :-)

I distinctly remember the "I Have a Hankering for a Hunk a Cheese" cartoon. Amazing how the mind retains such useless information! I also remember there being a similar cartoon showing kids how to prepare their own popsicles by placing juice or Kool Aid in ice molds, covering it with saran wrap and then placing popsicle sticks or toothpicks through the plastic and placing it in the freezer! I did this all the time as a kid!!! :)

I remember "Time for Timer" making his "debut" in a kid's film about the human body-the digestive system and such. Then he moved on and got another gig plugging cheese.
