A Spokesrabbit Conflicted – Nestles Quik vs. the Atari 2600

Jun 19, 2012

Let me tell you, I have a real soft spot for Quik. Back in my childhood days, Quik was a constant presence in our household. And guess what? Now that I'm all grown up, not much has changed in that department – except for the name and the packaging, of course.

Admittedly, I do have a bit of nostalgia for those old metal containers, but over time, I've learned to adapt. Even though "Nesquick" might not have that same ring to it, I'll be honest, it still hits the taste buds just right.

Now, onto the commercial. Back in the 1980s, it was a pretty common sight to spot an Atari 2600 console making a cameo in a commercial. Or sometimes, it would be roped into a contest to really get the kids' attention. And let me tell you, it worked like a charm on me. Those were the days when I would chug down my Quik and then dive into hours of Atari gaming, often until the wee hours of the morning. Turns out, the Quik Bunny and I had more in common than I initially thought.
