In the midst of some psyche-searing research into the most annoying food commercials of all time, we came across a 1978 Fritos ad we'd once prayed would be forever lost in time. Thanks a lot, Interweb. We're gonna have the noodly kazoo line, militant (MUNCHA!) refrain (BUNCHA!) and addled kid giggle looping through our heads all day. And goshdarnit, do we want some Fritos.
Only respite? Sharing the pain in the embedded vid above, and asking y'all to inflict your own personal food ad hell upon us via links in the comments.
Let the healing/revenge begin.

What's all the hate about.I was around when all the old black and white commercials were made.At least back then they didn't use sex to sell food to children like the new Burger King Sponge Bob disgusting commercial did. Look it up online if you haven't seen it on tv. SAMARA
