*Rare* Directed by mockumentary mastermind Christopher Guest ("This Is Spinal Tap", "Waiting For Guffman"), this comical Healthy Choice ad stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as herself and guest regular Don Lake as her bumbling agent who has the idea to make miniature "bite boxes" and drop them from a hot air balloon. After this Christopher Guest made a series of commercials promoting the census. Sounds like a pretty cool dude. Commercial recorded 2009.

Also, check out this other commercial in the series. I assume this one came later, because her top is waaaay lower cut in this one.: https://youtu.be/Ru1tzgJ6R28

These ranged in price from $2.00-2.50 at the time and Lean Cuisine was their chief competitor.
