Whether or not it's scary by today's standards (or even standards back then) was never the driving force behind the search. The main point of interest is that this thing had been around for twenty years and not a single person could remember the brand name, in spite of numerous credible sightings.
i think another reason we don't find it to be very scary is because we all clicked on that knowing what it would be. if you were watching tv at night and you saw that for the first time, i imagine you would definitely be scared.

Incredibly low-quality in terms of the production values and overall fidelity of the recordings, but that's just part of the Car Solutions charm. This supports the theory that the "plane" commercial was targeted at male customers.
I found this generic Carb Solutions commercial from a man named Richard Taylor who had a hand in making it. Perhaps he was involved in the SFX for the demon commercials or could help point us in the right direction.
Yeah, based on what we know (and the male/female variants of the radio commercials), it's likely that the "protagonist" of the plane ad is a man. Accounts of that one seem to also suggest that the flight attendant is a woman.
we found some more information about carb solutions. nothing substantial, but i thought it was worth noting.
- we found some newspaper ads for carb solutions. someone on our discord got the free trial for newspapers.com and looked at the pages that had carb solutions mentioned. the earliest mention they found was from october 22, 2000, and the latest was may 30, 2006.
- the brand patented Low carb that fits into life!, the slogan used in the 2003 "cravings" spot, on february 19, 2003. the airplane spot, which was made when the company used a different slogan, had definitely left airwaves by then.
- It's good to be good, the slogan used in the baby shower ad, was patented on january 23, 2001.
- taste sensations, the branding they used for their chips and non-shake drinks, was trademarked in april 2002.
