Okay this inspired by Jeri's entry.

The opening scene is a personnel/casting office waiting room full of past, (now out of work), various commercial advertising soft drink characters, (the guy from that 7up ad that said, "These are Un-cola nuts", a family dressed like polar bears from the Coke ad singing the I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing jingle, the dancing Dr. Pepper troop, etc) and, our heros, three young fresh looking guys dressed in fruit costumes. All are nervously practicing their old slogans trying to prepare for their turn at an interview with Squirt representatives.

The camera pans the room and those in it and then stops at the three fruit guys, (Lemon, Orange and Grapefruit), who are huddled together, eyes darting about the room observing some of their competitors.

The Lemon fruit guy says, "Hey, they're not bad."

(Camera pans to Dr. Pepper dancers who trip and fall awkwardly from lack of practice)

(then the Orange guy excitedly asks), "Is that who I think it is?"

(Camera pans to a Michael Jackson character doing the moon walk).

Grapefruit interrupts, "Don't worry boys, I hear we've got this one in the bag."

Over a loud speaker a secretary type is heard saying "Next" which momentarily interrupts the activity in the waiting room.

The fruit guys rise confidently and make their way to through a door.

(Next scene shows the three in a bare room, no windows, furniture, nothing. The walls, floor and ceiling are covered in stainless steel. A panel slips over the door that they just stepped through with a "CLANG!" so as to obscure it and making the entire room look just like the inside of a stainless steel box.)

Puzzled and disoriented the fruit look nervously at one another.

An executive type voice, from a hidden speaker, can be heard saying, "Congratulations boys you got the job".

(The three can be heard cheering with glee as a panel opens in middle of the floor to reveal a series of holes. Then a camera shot of two of the walls in the room slowly begin to move toward one another.
>br>(The next scene is of a bottle of Squirt being filled in the bottling factory on the assembly line.)

A narrator says, "Squirt is made with only the juices of fresh lemons, oranges and grapefruits. For a tangy thirst quenching taste treat, that can't be beat by those other soft drinks, choose an ice cold bottle of Squirt!"

(Last scene is of bottles of Squirt on ice.)
