Acting out Commercials

Like many kids, my sister and I liked to act out our favourite commercials. Back in the early eighties there used to be a dog food commercial that used to be on TV a lot. It showed two dogs that were separated by metallic gate. The dog inside the gate had a bowl of dog food. The dog outside sat there, making whimpering noises. Eventually the dog with the food pushes the bowl against the gate so the other dog is able to reach it by sticking its head between the bars of the gate.
I used to act this commercial out with my sister. What would usually happen is that we would each be given a packet of chips. I, being the scoff, would finish mine first. I would then start whimpering at my sister. Eventually the whimpering would drive her crazy and she would share her chips with me.
Another favourite commercial was the Clark Pools one. You know, the one with the jingle that goes, “Clark Pools…better than a beach in your own backyard.” As kids, my sister and I liked to sing that jingle except that we would change the first word to shark.
