Seems that various places have rules that declare other styles to not be able to be labeled as "chocolate." Hence you see some similar to M&M/Smarties type candies labeled "Cocoa Candies" as they have too much
to be called "chocolate" in the USA/Canada.
I like candy like Aero and Cadburries more than American stuff.

In the US, Smarties are not the M&M-style candy that is commonly known in Canada. The Smarties known in the US look like small round pills and break apart when you chew them; they're all sweet and some are also a
bit tart: https://www.smarties.com

Haven't seen those in a long time.
What other brand names are used on completely different products between the USA, Canada, UK and Australia?

Here Cadbury is generally your #1 chocolate choice, unless you go in for

I'm not sure off the top of my head, but one time I had read that the
fast food chain Burger King is known as Hungry Jack's in Australia
because there was already a local Burger King
"Hungry Jack" sounds like a guy you'd hear people in an Australian bar talking stories about.
"I remember when Hungry Jack walked through the outback then ate an entire wallaby!"

Downunder Nestles SMARTIES are a dubious chocolate covered in a shell similar to M&Ms were always aimed and kids and until M&Ms came along... maybe 90s was all we had. Mars M&Ms took most of the market with significantly better chocolate. Both are counted as chocolates as it would make most of the volume of each piece and thats what you'd be buying it for.

It could be the equivalent of Chuck Norris in the US.
"Hungry Jack ate an entire wallaby and lost 50 pounds"
I still have a Teaspoon with the QUIK Bunny on the handle.
Sent 25 cents and two coupons off of Nestle QUIK boxes to get it.
When the package arrived I saw the spoon wasn't cheaply made, so went out and bought a lot more QUIK packages that had the same offer on the box.
Second, Farfo saying CHOCOLATE after Danny O'Day(?) saying
N E S T L E S Nestles makes the very best.
When I was a kid, we had a few spoons and forks like that with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and I think Pluto on them. I miss being entertained by such things. ;)

We had similar, although I have no idea where we got them from. Mickey and Minnie teaspoons, often used with eggs served up in Noddy and Big Ears egg cups.

Who or what is a Farfo? Sounds reminiscent of a furphy, a stretching of the truth or outright lie, which is probably accurate for Nestle making the very best :P
Sounds like you had your animated options pretty well covered. :D
I still have a Cool Cat glass here somewhere that my Aunt gave me when I was a kid. I remember we also had some Ronald McDonald cartoonish plates with different characters (Grimace, Hamburgler) and maybe some glasses.
Somewhere around here, I still have my Snoopy and Bugs Bunny piggy banks, and a Jabberjaw lunch pail. ;)
end of the commercial. It was a long time ago that commercial
was on TV. I guess I'm showing my age. Ed
Could well be we just never got it here... I don't recall anything like that.

IIRC the Vinquoloquist(sp?) was Jimmy and he was the voice for Danny O'Day and the Dog Farfo. I live in Indiana across the Ohio River from
Louisville Kentucky.
That'd be ventriloquist. :) Some further investigation lead me to some info. I'm guessing we never saw it in Australia.. It first appeared ~1955 and retired ~65 so its even more unlikely I'd have seen it, even I'm not that
old ;) And the poor hounds name is apparently Farfel, named after some Jewish pasta dish <boggle>.
