Sargento Cheese Goldimouse Ad?

When I was a kid growing up, we all watched the great Warner Bros cartoons with Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, etc. And there was one character that everyone really loved to do impressions of, and that was Goldimouse from the cartoon Goldimouse and the Three Cats (which was essentially a re-telling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but with a grumbling Sylvester the Cat and his ashamed, disappointed son, etc.). And in the best part of the whole cartoon, Sylvester leaves out a piece of cheese to lure Goldimouse, and she walks up to it, sniffs it, and says, in a Southern Belle-type of voice: "Cheese: I just love cheese, really I do!" (She turns to the audience for the "...really I do!" part.) Everyone loved her character and the way she spoke that line.

So I was thinking, wouldn't it be fun to have Goldimouse return as the spokesperson/mascot for a brand of cheese, like, say, Sargento? The ad could talk about how natural and high-quality their cheese is, while showing us pictures of different kinds of it, and at the end, in the last shot, Goldimouse could run up to the piece of cheese, sniff it, and deliver her classic line: "I just love cheese, really I do!" And they could even use the same voice recording from the cartoon. (Or they could have a new one made where she says: "Mmm: Sargento! I just love Sargento cheese, really I do!")

Here's the cartoon of Goldimouse and the Three Cats (Her "I just love cheese!" quote is at 5:17.):
