Title: Nutcracker ad

Does anyone remember the chocolate ad with the Nutcracker ballet scene in it? What was it advertising again? Seems to me like it was something nutty that came in two halves.

Nah, it was Nestle Nutcracker. It was a bit like a big purple one.

I've been looking for a mention of it in various internet ad archives. Apparently fruit n nut did use the tune at one point, but don't think it's the one i'm thinking of. nestle nutcraker rings a bell, though.

thanks, both of you

I think they're both right.  I remember Nutcrackers, they were quite nice but expensive for what they were.
