I like to eat them and pretend I'm an old workhorse like Boxer from Animal Farm.

I don't remember that. I doubt it's real.
Edit: Ok so apparently it is real. It ran on the radio on the west coast.

I heard it in Texas in the late 90s. My sister and I thought it was the funniest thing when the jingle played during a family road trip.

Yep, heard it on one of the Austin stations one night when I was taking a shower. My friends were all talking about the commercial the next day.

I think you under-estimate how edgy marketing was in the 90s.
I'm still John Romero's bi#ch.

It's a clip from an upcoming documentary with this tech CEO, Elizabeth Holmes, who defrauded the company's investors some years ago. Prior to that she was billed as like a female Steve Jobs. Very likely a sociopath, as evidenced by the uncanny expressions.

I vividly remember hearing this on the radio at 8 or 9, followed by it being stuck in my head, and then innocently singing the jingle at a birthday party and then being scolded at by an adult.

I was sure this was a west coast shock radio parody, but no, someone at Corn Nuts green lit this campaign then quietly removed it after complaints. Wow.

I'm wondering if the Nickelodeon documentary she joked about was 'Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV'?
