Old Nerf? Football Commercial

[zeros]

Does anyone else remember a commercial from, oh... at least 5yrs ago, where a boy is getting ready to throw a football and turns into an NFL Quarterback? I was thinking it was a Nerf Football, had an expanding (or otherwise actionable) tail, and the QB was Peyton Manning...

Does this ring any bells?

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Does anyone remember the 70's or early 80's commercial for the "Hulk Pump Up Muscles" where the boy is wearing the muscles under his shirt, inflates them with a pump, and rips out of his shirt? Was I dreaming that product, or did it really exist?

I remember the Hulk pump-up muscles. And in fact, that product briefly came back a couple years ago for the movie. Even though I haven't been a kid in years (decades?...lol), I felt the need to purchase one anyway!

A television commercial that I remember from the 80s, that it seems like no one else does, was for a chocolate candy bar. I forget which one, but it may have been Whachamacallit. As I recall, there was this woman (yes, a woman, so sue me...lol), who is at her son's Little League baseball game. She gets a sudden craving for chocolate, and can't find any. She turns into a muscular human-monster, and runs off in search of chocolate. When she finds this candy bar, she eats it, and returns to normal, as the voice over says "tames the chocolate beastie".

I know its not exactly what this website is about, but this commercial came out at a time when I was discovering that muscle growth was exciting, but I hadn't made the distinction between gay and straight. Her transformation involved some mild clothes ripping, and I remember her calves and biceps becoming clearly exposed, and larger than that of a normal person.
