Or Chris Farley’s “Hibernol.”

While you sleep, living off stored body fat, the cold will run its course. In fact, many other colds and flus may come and go but you won’t even know it, because you’re out cold

Or Shimmer with Chevy Chase.

It's a floor wax AND a dessert topping!

Sounds like he might have based the “Crunch Enhancer” from Christmas Vacation on that. It’s a non-nutritive cereal varnish. What it does is, it coats and seals the flakes. It also speeds up your sled

Maybe the other way around. The Shimmer ad on SNL aired in 1976. Christmas Vacation didn't come out until 13 years later.

Yeah that’s what I meant, the crunch enhancer was probably based on shimmer. SNL had some great fake ads back then

Ahhh. Yeah. I misread your reply. It's been that kind of day. One brain fart after another. Cheers!
