Nestle's Quik is now known worldwide as Nesquik. Nestle changed the product name here in the US in 1999, more than 30 years after the label had been adopted overseas.
The Nesquik Bunny (Barry Gordon) has been the mascot for several decades, but he wasn't the only one. In the 50's, Nestle hired ventriloquist Jimmy Nelson to shill the product. In the 60's, in addition to Adam West as Captain Q, there was another animated mascot, Quiky.
Quiky, voiced by the incomparable Mel Blanc, was a dog who helped combat a condition known as "the slows", as demonstrated in this spot.
