Cheech and Chong are back, and they're pitching "magic brownies" - for General Mills.
The stars of 1980s stoner comedies are featured in a funny promotion for Fiber One brownies, a new high-fiber snack targeted at aging baby boomers.
The online-only commercial resembles a movie trailer, and the twist comes at the end: the "magic" ingredient turns out to be fiber, not marijuana.
"Fiber - because now that you're getting older, you need a new kind of magic from your brownies," the announcer says.
Chong's response: "This is the weirdest movie ever, man."
The ad campaign began when the General Mills marketing team was brainstorming about the June launch of Fiber One brownies. When a New York ad agency, Modem, floated the magic brownie concept, "We loved the idea and that's kind of where we started," said Jim Wilson, a General Mills marketing manager.

Hey man, it's Labrador.
What's Labrador?
My dog ate my stash. Had to follow him around with a Baggie for 3 days to get it back.

Brilliant marketing on the part of the ad agency, Modem. Kudos to their maniacal creativity.
Got a good laugh.
