This ad, for the now-unfortunately-named "whiz" bar opens up with a kid doing a magic trick. The narrator chirps, "Say, That's slick!" and eggs the kid to find out how it's done, the kid refuses, but let's us know that we can get the "Famous" magic and party stunt book just by eating Whiz bars! They look suspiciously like rice crispie bars.. Watch for the model taking a gingerly nibble off of one and, of course, laughing. A MUST SEE on this site!

This screen ad shows a boy performing a magic trick followed by what looks to be a sure "Whizz bang" of a party. As already noted "Whizbars" arn't really bars at all but look more like Rice Krispy square. The best thing about this ad is the fast talking narator who is most likely a basis for stereotyped anouncer voices today.
