There was a commercial a few years back with the line “You know you WAAAANT it”. My SO and I have spent a couple of days trying to remember what this commercial was, but we havent suceeded yet.

Does anyone know?

It’s still running here in Montreal. It’s Kraft’s Cheez-Whiz, AKA Kraft’s bathtub caulking

Yea, it’s easily one of the most annoying commercials I can think of. It made it to my list of annoying commercials on my LiveJournal. The guy gets his hand stuck in a Cheese Wiz can while apparently “entertaining” friends with a keyboard rendition of an inane song. And because I think it’s a Canadian commercial (the lettering on the bottom reads [www.kraftcanada.com](http://www.kraftcanada.com)), it’s still played here in Vermont, too. ARRRGHHHH!

Cheez-Whiz? That doesnt sound right to me, though if you’ve both seen it, perhaps I’m just misremembering. My SO and I thought it might have been Pizza-Hut’s stuffed-crust pizza. I can hear the annoying, whiny voice in my head when I think of it, but can’t place the context at all.

Thanks, though! It’s been driving us nuts, ever since the “quote” was said randomly in a conversation at the beginning of the week.
