    Was it Fruit Pastilles or Fruit Gums (Rowntree)?

    edit: just googled, seems it was the pastilles.

    I thought it was wine gums but then thought it was fruit pastilles, now I'm not sure. But there defo was a bat called Kevin who hung upside down while the little boy gave him sweets!

    I sent an email off to Rowntree...

    To settle this little debate, the bat was used for Fruit gums not pastilles. How do i know this i hear you all cry, well the little boy in the ad was my older brother who is now 33.

    If you have access to the BBC iPlayer then you can see the whole advert on the Funny Side of Animals at 16.54

    Along with the KitKat Pandas just before it and Easily "turn-on-and-offable" after it.
