Nestle's Alpine "White Dreams" Chocolate Commercials

Title:Nestle's Alpine "White Dreams" Chocolate Commercials

Media: TV Commercials (available on Youtube)

Approx length: less than three minutes

Where to find it: Youtube - warning: the first 25 seconds of this is the poster's title, and it uses a LOT of flashing lights; avoid if you're epileptic or otherwise sensitive

What is it, in summary?: This was a series of very strange, very dramatic, very pretty commercials from the 1980s. Sophie B. Hawkins sings part of the ridiculously difficult to get out of your head jingle

What do you love about it?: Have you seen this thing? It's insane. There's a guy playing a cello on a mountain, a farmer looking wistfully at windmill, ice skaters, ballerinas, a girl with a teddy bear, waves... and some of it is heavily based on the art of Maxfield Parrish.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Who are these people? What is their story?

Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: You could eat white chocolate, I guess.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Cholesterol? Fat? Nestle's is not an ethical company?
