In 1988 Hershey's introduced Symphony Bars which were chocolate bars sold in either original and with almonds and toffee chips but the other thing interesting about these candy bars is it's commercial. Throughout the commercial Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is featured and is best known as the theme to Judge Judy and a huge disco hit when it was remixed for Saturday Night Fever. The commercial for Symphony Bars is well done with it's neat classical feel. Symphony Bars are still sold today but Hershey's sure struck gold with this commercial

I remember those commercials. They were very distinctive; at the time, no-one was using classical music to advertise chocolate.

Hi, Bestie! Hershey was attempting to make their chocolate bars more sophisticated, so the stuck ups would buy them. I guess it didn't work too well. They should have put something nasty, like snails or fish eggs in them and they would have sold.
