Natural Confectionery Co.



An orange jelly snake is sitting on a white table describing his all natural colours and flavours when--
BRING ON THE TRUMPETS!
A red bear sitting on a pile of books interrupts the snakes, repeating BRING ON THE TRUMPETS several times. The snake expresses his confusion of why the bear is saying this and eventually stops talking. The bear laughs maniacally, and shouts another TRUMPETS.
This is the basic plot of one of the adverts in the most brilliant line of adverts ever: The Natural Confectionery Company.
TNCC, which makes a line of jelly products, lollies, and sweet soft drinks, puts out a line of completely random advertisements starring their jelly characters, such as the snake, a sour bear, a dinosaur, and some pineapples. The plots of these have little to do with promoting the sweets, but they're so adorable, how could you not just want to buy them all? They characters often have personalities, such as the soft-natured snake, the posh dinosuar, the dinosaur drill sargeant, and the aggressive bear. My personal favourite is the posh dinosaur.
Seriously though, these are the best things ever. I was also fortunate enough to have a red jelly snake brought to me by a football coach from Farnsborough, and it was rather tasty.
Here is a good sampling of some of the best ones put out by TNCC, for your viewing pleasure.
Enjoy!
