Harry and Charlie Davies-Carr, the two British lads who became a viral sensation in 2007, are back recalling the incident for a Ragu ad.

As Harry recalls five years on, the bite really hurt and instead of helping him, his parents just recorded the incident. Cue the music: “Charlie bit your finger like a rabbit or possum, but Dad kept on filmin’ cause he thought it was awesome.”

The latter broke an odd campaign over the summer presenting the spaghetti sauce as a salve for the indignations children suffer during their formative years.
