Hi everyone, I am trying to track down a piece of lost media from my childhood that has been driving me crazy because nobody else seems to remember it.I grew up in Canada, and I distinctly remember this commercial airing in the late 1980s or early 1990s (likely during children's programming blocks on networks like YTV, Global, or Family Channel).Commercial Details:The Visuals: It was completely live-action (no animation). The aesthetic was very classic early 90s—kids wearing bright, neon, or color-blocked clothing acting against a stark, minimalist, primarily solid white background.The Plot: A kid is handing out candies/fruit snacks to a group of his friends one by one. It acts like a roll-call where he says a line for each kid (something like "Sally chews [Flavor]..."). Eventually, he completely runs out of candy, but at the very end, he either finds one last piece or is handed one.The Twist/Tagline: He eats the final piece, and a narrator voiceover delivers a incredibly clunky, stupid punchline at the very end of the ad: "Chew, Bert, too." (Or "Chew Bert, too").Why it’s hard to find / My Theory:The tagline sounds completely unnatural and like a bad translation. Because of this, I am almost certain this was a European candy commercial that was cheaply redubbed into English for the Canadian/international market. The voice actors were likely trying to force English words to match the lip movements of a foreign kid's name or a European rhyming scheme, resulting in the bizarre "Chew Bert too" line.I’ve already checked standard 90s archive clips for major brands like Starburst, Gushers, Maoam, Chewits, and Fruittella, but haven't found this exact ad. It's likely sitting unindexed on someone's old recorded VHS tape of TV commercial breaks.Does anyone have archived commercial blocks from late 80s/early 90s Canadian TV, or recognize this specific translated dub? Thank you!

Hi everyone, I am trying to track down a piece of lost media from my childhood that has been driving me crazy because nobody else seems to remember it.

I grew up in Canada, and I distinctly remember this commercial airing in the late 1980s or early 1990s (likely during children's programming blocks on networks like YTV, Global, or Family Channel).

Commercial Details:

• The Visuals: It was completely live-action (no animation). The aesthetic was very classic early 90s—kids wearing bright, neon, or color-blocked clothing acting against a stark, minimalist, primarily solid white background.
• The Plot: A kid is handing out candies/fruit snacks to a group of his friends one by one. It acts like a roll-call where he says a line for each kid (something like "Sally chews [Flavor]..."). Eventually, he completely runs out of candy, but at the very end, he either finds one last piece or is handed one.
• The Twist/Tagline: He eats the final piece, and a deep narrator voiceover delivers a incredibly clunky, stupid punchline at the very end of the ad: "Chew, Bert, too." (Or "Chew Bert, too").

Why it’s hard to find / My Theory:

Does anyone have archived commercial blocks from late 80s/early 90s Canadian TV, or recognize this specific translated dub? Thank you!
