AKICILJ: "One day *I* will have the power of the sun!"

[seawasp]

Old commercials are commonly found on YouTube, but I cannot find even a TRACE of a couple that I swear I saw for -- I think -- Sunny Delight (AKA "SunnyD").

It features a "little person" mad scientist/evil genius type very reminiscent of Dr. Miguelito Loveless from the original Wild, Wild West TV show, trying to steal the power of the sun from the advertised product, which naturally proves too much for his devices and blows them up. The tagline was always "One day *I* will have the power of the sun!"

No one yet has confirmed that they saw these for sure, nor that it was Sunny D that it was for, nor any trace of the commercial online, which I find startling given how much older stuff is online.

Anyone?

I definitely remember that tag-line and the description of the ads is familiar, but I wouldn't swear to the details.

That said, you might drop a line to the proprietor of Television Obscurities, because I can't think of anyone on the Web more likely to either remember the ads or know where to look for more information.

I realize I'm weighing in about a month after the fact, but you might consider running your question past the folks at whatwasthatone; they've helped me track down all sorts of unlikely esoterica.
