Trident Kids Commercial:
Before the start of the Jimmy Neutron show, Trident Gum used the character and his iconic gadget, the Hypno-Beam, to appeal to kids. The commercial begins with a young boy, who finds that he has finished his gum. Jimmy Neutron gives him the Hypno-Beam telling him, "with my Hypno-Beam, programming people is a snap!" He then goes into the kitchen where his mom is taking groceries out of a bag, implying she has just finished shopping. He suggests to his mom, "Hey mom, let's go shopping." She turns toward him from unbagging the groceries and begins to answer, "But I just wen-". As she's answering, he uses the Hypno-Beam on her, putting her under hypnosis mid-sentence, as she changes her mind about shopping and complies with the hypnosis, smiling from ear to ear and responding, "Shopping, okay dear!", while tilting her head to the right. When she's put under hypnosis, her eyes flash yellow, then quickly change to white with large red swirls spinning in them, the series iconic eye effect for the hypnotized. The next scene begins with individual packs of Trident gum being rung up by a cashier at a store. While he's ringing them up, he looks up at the boy and his mom. The boy and his mom look back at him with huge smiles on their faces. The mom tilts her head to the left, while she smiles, still under hypnosis, and still with large red swirls spinning in her eyes. The camera then pans out to cart and checkout lane, showing thousands of packs of Trident gum in the cart that have been rung up, and thousands more yet to be rung up. The commercial ends with the boy using the Hypno-Beam on the cashier, who then begins to ring up armfuls of gum, rather than individual packs, while the mom stands, with a huge smile on her face, large red swirls spinning in her eyes, and head tilted to the left, and watches on.
