Let's Go Out to the Kitchen!

Back when I first heard about YouTube, one of the very first things I searched for was my all-time favorite commercial: a milk ad from the '90s featuring singing and dancing snacks advising viewers to "go out to the kitchen and have ourselves a snack."

Not only do I love this for the food with eyes, but also because they are dancing through a great 1950s kitchen very similar to my grandparent's kitchen.

This commercial was, of course, a take off on the classic '50s movie theater intermission commercial which can also be found on YouTube:
