Summary

A commercial promoting Vitello milk margarine.

Synopsis

A dot – a ball – first absorbs milk from a cow, eggs from a hen and some salad oil. It then oils a marble cake form and greases a goose in a tin. The ball is made of Schicht's Vitello margarine.

Note

The commercial for the Czechoslovak-based Schicht company Schicht (Jiří Schicht a. s.) was filmed abroad. Information about the censorship proceedings did not survive. The year of production was estimated.
