When I was a kid [THIS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZftwCOkn80) commercial freaked me out. Now I’m old and [THIS ONE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7rehs07KOg) does. Something about talking apples just gives me the creeps. :o ---

That second commercial is one creepy-looking apple. The first one I never saw before. Of course, I’ve held a grudge against Apple Jacks ever since I was in fourth grade, and saw the meanest bully in my school walk up to the checkstand and buy a box. Just like that! And they LET him! Fuckin’ LIARS they were, at the Apple Jacks company. :mad: ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > The first one I never saw before. Probably because it’s from circa 1965 when I was 5 years old. They had that creepy thing on the [box](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/enhanced/web03/2012/2/1/13/enhanced-buzz-9219-1328119642-17.jpg) too. ---

Maybe your fear stems from that scene? ---
