Cartoons of the Week -- Nestle's Quik Ads

General
It's that time of year -- chocolate bunnies are in the stores again, so here's a trio of vintage commercials featuring that cocoa-loving rabbit who's in the stores year-round:
First Appearance:
Second Appearance:
Third Appearance:
I wish I could have found and included commercials featuring the retired Strawberry Quik rabbit (who got the giggles whenever he took a sip of the strawberry-flavored milk) and the rarely-seen Banana Quik rabbit, (who would progressively become more banana-like with each sip he took of his namesake). Bizarre bunnies, indeed.

I also forgot to mention that the Strawberry Quik bunny actually preceded the chocolate one. Strawberry was slurping and giggling hysterically (someday I'll find a copy of that ad) circa 1970, while the first appearance of the Chocolate bunny wasn't until sometime around the Bicentennial.
I do remember the video game Quik commercial, though, at the height of the Atari 2600 craze. (I still have one of those, too.)
