Have you seen the [SKITTLES COMMERCIAL](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WASn6PRG1Fc) with the guy eating them with his beard? It’s one of the strangest, creepiest, and far-out ads I’ve seen in a long time. Awesome!

Horrible.

Now the candy bar commercials with the girls in the candy wrappers (“why so blue, panda bear?”) are damn entertaining.
