A young high school student shows the girl he has a crush on the art piece he has created in her honor.  He brings her to the school’s art center and puts on the song “Hello” by Lionel Richie.  The work of art is a likeness of the girl formed out of Starburst candy.  When the sculpture is displayed the girl looks frightened and disgusted but the student is excited by his work and begins to describe how he used lemon candies for the hair because her hair is fragrant like fresh lemons and red cherry candies for her lips, because her lips are juicy like cherries.  He kisses the cherry candy sculpture lips and the girl begins to back out of the room.  When the student describes the nose he bites it and passionately begins to devour the Starburst sculpture.  The commercial ends with the Starburst candy being displayed on a solid screen.
