Hahaha, I forgot about this for 30 years!
Since this is the weekend, you'd rather read about old candy commercials than politics. And I would too!
There was a commersh for the Nestle $100,000 candy bar (later renamed to 100 Grand) back in the '70s that featured an Archies-like jingle that goed, "Chewy, chewy caramel..."
In this ad, people stretched the caramel portion of the candy bar out of their mouths and plumb into the sky.
When I found this ad on YouTube, the fond memories came rushing back!
I instantly recalled how back in grade school, classmates pulled strands of mucus out of their noses, so that a side view of this act looked exactly like the manner in which folks in this commersh stretched out the $100,000 bar.
Here's a version of the ad from 1979:

I burst out laughing when I saw that!
I wonder if Nestle has ever been sued for false advertising for charging only 85 cents for this candy bar when it says 100 Grand right on the wrapper.
