Looking for two adverts

I've heard about two tv adverts that have quicksand involved in them and I'm wondering if anyone has a copy of them or knows where to find them.

The first one is a Frigidaire advert from the 70s that has a woman sinking in a cake. The second is a Norwest Bank advert that has a couple sinking in the pavement.

If anyone can help that would be much appreciated.

Think the cake one was from the 90s. That’s when I saw it. It was super fast tho.

Did you ever find these ones?

I have this on several personal tapes, although I don't think I have discovered the one with the off-air (original) recording.

In any case, this one is pretty clean - http://www.mpvstuff.com/clips/Frigidaire.mp4

Pretty nice. I wonder if anyone knows about the Norwest one because I think I may have seen it.
