      Same thing with Krave where it seems like a race thing in their commercials, while cinnamon toast crunch is straight up cannibalism. It's almost like these commercials are subtly tackling some real world issues, which is interesting if true

      Have you seen the commercials for Cinnamon Toast Crunch? Those were always… interesting. Or what about corn puffs? (Remember those?) I remember vividly the commercial that aired forever ago about the corn puff taking a shower on a dark and stormy night when the power went out, only to be met with another corn puff holding a milk bottle. Or maybe the milk bottle was the thing she saw? I don’t remember it exactly but I remember it was freakin WEIRD!!

    I mean, this could be another M&Ms scenario, where the talking versions of the snack are higher, more intelligent beings while the snack is just modeled after them. The goldfish that Finn is serving up doesnt have facial expressions or talk like the rest of them, so they could be this universe's form of cattle, and possibly ethical to eat(?).

    Yeah it is pretty much always disturbing when a food mascot character wants to be eaten. It always reminds me of that scene from "Young Sherlock Holmes" where Watson is hallucinating that all the pastries in the donut shop are trying to force themselves into his mouth. It's one of the most disturbing scenes in a movie ever. I think the worst part is that this hallucination is taking part in a mausoleum, I think. So there isn't any actual food there.. just dead things.

    Once at a sleepover at a summer camp, me and some other kids were told that we didn't have to go to bed as long as we were quiet. So we made a pentagram out of gold fish and started to circle it. The councilor walked in on us and then I assume questioned his entire reality. He asked us what was happening and someone said that we were summoning Finn the goldfish from the goldfish commercials. The councilor then brought almost every other councilor to show them what we were doing.
    Edit: This is my favorite memory from this camp, and very few people that I went to camp with know about this.

So we all get out of our bunks and spend like 5-10 minutes trying to construct the pentagram. After the councilor checked in on us, half of us (including me) were laughing too hard to do any more, but the other half kept on circling the pentagram.
