The original adverts used Claymation special effects, similar in style to those made famous in the movies of Ray Harryhausen. They also included a voiceover style reminiscent of a 1950s radio serial. Chewits have been involved in a range of promotional activity over the years including the Chewits log flume at Pleasureland in Southport. More recently, Chewits have sponsored several sport and activity-related programmes for children in the UK.

He worked in different aspects of sheet metal work all his working life.” With a change of advertising agencies, the puppets were replaced by colourful 2D animations.
