A commercial which doesn't really tell much about the product, only how it will feel to use it.
Usually, the commercial starts out by asking "What's it like to try new Product X?", then shows a ridiculous metaphor of it. Alternatively, the commercial shows the metaphor first to make you wonder what the heck you're watching, then reveals "That's what our product is like."
The name comes from the ads for York Peppermint Patties which apparently will make you feel like you're skiing down the alpines from atop your coffee table.
Compare and contrast Sex for Product. Related to Bottled Cool.

The in-game radio in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has a deodorant ad that says "When fighting the war against personal hygiene, bring up the heavy artillery: PIT BOMB! It's like NAPALM for your skin! AGENT ORANGE for your sweat glands! It kills bad odors like GIs in a peasant village!"

Non-commercial example: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy describes the experience of drinking a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster as being "akin to having one's brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick." Although this one may or may not be metaphorical.
