The Original Chocolate Factory Commercial

Commercial from 2004

[@timeparadox999]

growing up is realizing that The Original Chocolate Factory is just an unaltered double boiler and that this is like marketing a regular spatula as The Pancake Wizard

[@9volt65]

NO! IT CAN'T BE TRUE! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!! I DON'T WANT TO GROW UP! NOOOOOOOOO-

[@Starpotion]

I'm interested in purchasing your Pancake Wizard

[@Theredtail95]

It came with all of that and a recipe book for $20.

[@jokestermasteroflaughter7754]

That’s great marketing

[@avadoksorem2854]

This commercial taught me the genius of melting chocolate in a pan set inside a larger pan filled with water.

You can also use a microwave, just gotta stir it occasionally

A Loser Asian Kid I don't know why I remember this so clearly😂, I don't even like chocolate. And I was in kindergarten during this time (2004-05)

That's exactly why I'm here I can't believe I found it

OMFG

[@wesm6121]

I bought it as a kid never used it again after it made a huge mess 😂

[@CaitlinKoi]

I never thought I could feel so nostalgic for an infomercial but this played all the time when I was little

[@quaimaboylan5175]

I feel the same cait

[@jessicathecofagrigus3356]

Same! I don’t like chocolate but I love this commercial! So nostalgic!

[@abbycollins]

Same! Good to see we have the same tastes!

[@puddin883]

My mom actually bought this way back when I was a kid. She used this thing for years and still uses it to make chocolate covered strawberries. She lost all the stuff that came with it over the years but she still has the two pots. xD

[@rabikhan7820]

Followed up with the MEGAS XLR ad is just the pinnacle of nostalgia for those of us who watched Cartoon Network in the 2000s

These were my favorite commercials as a kid.

[@KingDragonBoyPrime1998]

I saw this on Cartoon Network

[@theglowfishpark]

I asked my mom for this for my birthday when I was a kid and actually got it and then realized that we were not a chocolate dipping kind of family. Still kinda fun and we got the molds out of it

[@pokemonmanic3595]

I can’t believe they tricked us all into buying two pans that sit on each other 😅

[@Amoogus]

Well the scam was that it was cool looking and us kids would bitch and complain until the parents thought 20 bucks was worth it enough to get us to shut up. I remember getting this "moldable sand" toy thing from a commercial on cartoon network and it was completely worthless. Parents said never again lol. Edit: nah i remember it was "floam" this weird toy thing that came out in 2004.

[@TAGanimation]

As a kid, I always saw these kind of commercials as "moddest" and "quaint", as opposed to other bombastic in-your-face commercials with absurdist humor, who just want to offer you a decent product through "honest" means and in a lighthearted tone. The "limited" feeling just made it feel more "honest" and "moddest", y'know?

[@timesnewlogan2032]

As opposed to the car commercials that literally screamed at you for a solid minute?

[@TAGanimation]

@timesnewlogan2032 are you talking about those "local" car commercials about local car dealerships like that Baltimore commercial? "Crazy Al's Cars! 25% off! This Sunday! No down payment for 15 months!".

[@ryanbeyond2352]

This takes me back, man. This was on every commercial break on Cartoon Network, Toon Disney/Disney Channel and Kids WB back in the early 00s. I miss those days. Life was simpler then.

[@astriverofstrengthandknowledge]

It’s been so long. Just seeing this commercial again brought out a set of feelings I didn’t even know existed.

[@tisaacs4487]

Back when commercials were oh so satisfying.

[@iamapizzaindisguise7730]

This honestly made me smile

[@abellewellyn9573]

The fact that they marketed this as having 90 pieces is crazy

[@splunkmastah4609]

The commercial was one thing, but you gonna leave a clip of Megus XLR to end it off on? Bruh my childhood.

[@Monkeymeep]

The crazy thing is those 3d models were probably really expensive to make at the time this commercial came out. Now it could probably be made in 15 min using blender

[@CristhoferGachuz]

Once I see commercials like these, I watch commercials for 1 year already! I started watch commercials/infomercials in 2022 to see how commercials actually looked like back in the early early years!

[@cruehead23]

I begged my mom for this, and she brought me to the sad realization; I didn't actually want to do the work of this, I just wanted the commercial food. Now that I know how to stage photos, it makes me sadder lol

[@jaesteve17]

Someone brought up fondue and all I could think about was the snowmen being filled. I’m glad I found this.

[@ookamikabu1860]

I actually got this as a Christmas present when I was younger (around 8-10 years old I think?) and I was OBSESSED with the molds. Every opportunity I had I was making chocolate teddy bears, and it was so satisfying putting the chocolate in the squirt bottle thing and just going to town. Definitely thinking about buying some chocolate molds now

[@ookamikabu1860]

AND it was only 20 bucks? Jesus

[@missinchoate]

I wanted this just for the molds too 😂

[@mermaid_m0tel]

I cannot describe enough how much peace these informercials bring me😌

[@nic0leta2430]

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FIR THIS EVERYWHERE AND FOR YEEEEARS! OMGGGGG! THIS WAS THE COOLEST THING TO ME AS A LITTLE KID! I remember always asking my mom if we could get this but she never got it and I'm still sad I never tried this 😂

[@cartoonnetworkcityera]

glad i could help

[@Izzy-cp8yt]

Got this for christmas as a kid (thanks grandma!!) and was very disappointed when the giant reese's cup mold nearly broke releasing the chocolate, and the chocolate was too thick to successfully bite. Had to gnaw at the thing for days. Still cool that I got it, though.

[@tyranjackson8206]

The sheer amount of serotonin I just gained from rewatching this lost memory

[@justmika6964]

This feels like a core memory unlocked kind of moment

[@winteraurora6517]

No I can't say it left them snoring because my family is realistic enough to know that food isn't a movie or something. It also doesn't cause them to appear as though I have double vision.

[@thebadshave503]

This one was my favorite kind of As Seen on TV product: when it's just literally some regular thing people do in kitchens all the time (setting up a double boiler) but presented as an innovation. Like all those different 'creative' egg cooking devices that were just... any shallow microwave safe bowl.

[@callum110597]

That's a wonderful chocolate factory, for those who love to have chocolate dips. Even being a chocolate fan.

[@satyendrandonibanerjee8682]

Remember seeing this commercial on cartoon Network back in the day. Although now I wonder why not just get Hershey's Chocolate syrup and fill it up in a bowl? Maybe that's why not that many people bought this I actually dialed the number and it's disconnected.

[@pao_lumu]

they invented 2 pots that fit together Genius

[@AddersOtter]

Once I began baking, I started having to do this for brownies if I wasn't doing it from scratch. It kept giving me flashbacks to this commercial lol. At least this taught me that directly putting chocolate on a pan touching the fire is a bad thing to do, but I don't need this specific contraption for it, that said.

[@mkcstealth7624]

They knew exactly what they were doing advertising on kids channels

[@AntiSerpent]

I watched this alot and it was still on for many months lol and I always watched while eating sweets 😋

I had this. I did this at sleep over without adult supervision. I was a bad kid.

[@Sonichero151]

It's been 20 years since i saw this commercial but somehow i knew exactly every word that was going to come out.....

[@BetaRabbit64]

If there's one thing I learned from this infomercial, it's that anything and everything tastes better when covered in melted chocolate.

[@gwen8352]

Like everyone else who was a kid or tween in the late 90s/early 2000s, I remember seeing this on Cartoon Network as well. Rewatching as an adult, it's interesting to see that they were apparently literally advertising this to children, as indicated by the line 'and, with adult supervision....'

[@EthylynnArtz]

I remember this!! I begged my dad to get this, and then I didn't touch it til I was a teen. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@agoel6223]

Lol I still have this from when I was a kid

Wish I remembered this when making fondue in my last semester of college in 2020 when I sliced my finger open with a knife lololol

[@ednagaley7239]

I remember seeing this and asking my mom about it and she just pulls out two pots fills one with water and made a double boiler. We made some cookies while she was teaching me and my sister that some things can be made at home and cheaper then the tv.

[@marymcelroy6157]

If it weren't for the copyright of 2003 at the end and the prices, I'd think this was on tv in the 80's with everything being in standard definition

The fact that it's Megas XLR after the commercial makes this 9000% better

The thing with dipping chocolate is to add coconut or palm oil to keep the chocolate from seizing.

Betty Crocker was just dropshiping us all. Betty Crocker is definitely rolling in dough because all of our parents got the chocolate factory 😔
