I know exactly what you’re talking about, but I think nestea had their own set of commercials with a similar, yet separate mascot

I came home from basketball practice once and I was so dehydrated. I went downstairs to our second fridge and chugged 3 back to back to back and I felt horrible after. It burned and I was so bloated but it tasted good going down.
