Believe it or not, someone asked the same question here five years ago: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6641265&postcount=68](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6641265&postcount=68). No answer then either. ---

[Here](http://backwardsbush.blogspot.com/2007/08/519-days-2-hours-30-minutes-18-seconds.html) is something interesting. This blog post says: > [@](#): > > Hamster Brain. It was their favorite commercial years ago. The sister calls her brother a hamster brain (or does the brother call the sister that?) while the mother soaks blissfully behind the closed bathroom door in Calgon Bath Oil Beads. ---

This is bugging me because I _know_ I have seen that commercial as well. I did some digging and found this [link](http://backwardsbush.blogspot.com/2007_08_19_archive.html) that suggests it’s a Calgon Bath Oil Beads ad but I couldn’t find the actual ad. ---

ya i found this also Hamster Brain. It was their favorite commercial years ago. The sister calls her brother a hamster brain (or does the brother call the sister that?) while the mother soaks blissfully behind the closed bathroom door in Calgon Bath Oil Beads. but no commerical on utube? ---

While you’re at it, there was one my stoner friends and I would laugh at and quote endlessly, and I haven’t been able to track it down anywhere. It was either for coffee or aspirin (probably the latter), and had the mother using the product while patiently bearing the rehearsal of her kids’ band. The song–a quintessential example of an ad-copy writer’s belief in his own lack of talent–had lyrics that went: “Heavy, heavy, / You are very heavy, / Baby, baby, / You are very heavy.” I’d love to track that one down! ---
