Kool-Aid Style" ads.

Like what you see?

Yeah. I'm dedicated to collecting and saving these weird ads. Why? I
blame the childhood they caused me 8)



2. Roll-Call

LET'S START with some sort of role-call... Yes, I know YOU are on this
list. And I'm pointing at you. >:( What ads did you join this list
with an interest in? :)

Personally, here's a brief list-- I really should update the site with
these, but I intend to soon! :3


3. Ads I am looking For

Ads:
- Fruit Roll-Up ads with Rolluppo the Wizard,
- Treasure Troll Teens,
- Creepy Crawlers (the last ad with subways/movie theater),
- Buster Busts Loose with animation blended with live-action,
more Kool-Aid commercials,
- Froot Loops commercials-- Somebody has told me about one that had a
claymation mouth which makes the kid say something. A lot wackier
than the only-animated stuff :)
- a longer version of this ad for Honey Nut Cheerios (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7QxjDqEpN8 )
- more Gushers Ads (including the classics from early 90s!) at higher
definitions
- An ad for "Heinz EZ Squirt Ketchup" that was tied with The Grinch.

But this is only scratching the surface.


4. About the site's Fundable donation drives!

So what's Fundable? Basically, you pledge to pay X dollars if
everybody's total pledges hit the goal. So if 12 people pledge $30,
and the goal is $360-- I get the money and put up the ad the pledge
drive is for :O

Yes, it's ridiculous. The internet. How can you trust anybody on the
net? But that's what you get. :/

I think I plan on making this group a central requirement for getting
ads I didn't have to pay $ to find. I mean, that way we get a basis :o


5. What ads DO YOU Want to find? :D What ads are YOU Looking for?


So yes, Hit reply and send a message to all of us. :D The more of us
there are, the more ads we can find.


WHAT ADS are YOU looking for?? :D
