Racumin is a line of rodenticides produced by Bayer AG and sold in Asia and Australia. In the Philippines, several commercials were made such as the screaming ballerina version and the most popular, the "Daga.. Daga.. Daga.." (Rat.. Rat.. Rat..) chant version.
Premise
The commercial's first sequence is a rat avoiding a mousetrap, then the number of rats increasing was shown. During this sequence, a voiceover saying "Daga, Daga, Daga..." ("Rat, Rat, Rat...") was heard and when the rats were gradually increasing, the voiceover chants faster. When the rats are fed with Racumin, the rats are slowly diminishing so as the voiceover. There is also said to be a part where a kid was scared then he is just standing on a chair or platform. The words "Sa Racumin, Matalino Man ang Daga, Wala pa Ring Kawala" (eng: In Racumin, Even If the Rat is Smart, There Would Be No Escape) was said to be displayed at the end.[1]
