A Nood Heather with Panini from Chowder, along with Bubbie and Flapjack from The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack with some of their color lost.
Starting in mid July, Cartoon Network had shown short commercials that promoting various television shows, such as Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action. These commercials feature Noods, small, peanut-shaped, human-like creatures that usually start off colorless, but can change color and shape. They normally represented main characters from Cartoon Network shows. Heather, Gwen, DJ, Chris, Harold, Cody, Trent, Chef, and the bear have all been created as Noods. Owen was seen as a blow-up Nood at a New York City convention, but has never been seen as one on the Cartoon Network commercials.
When a ball of color hits a Nood, they turn change color to match that of the ball which hit them, or to the color of a camper who wears that color. For example, a Nood that gets hit with a ball the color of Heather's shirt will turn into Heather, or a Nood that touches something blue will turn blue.
These commercials were made by the company, Capacity. This rebrand only lasted until February 2010, after which the older Nood commercials were replaced with new Nood commercials, before another rebrand in June 2010. The new re-brand featuring no Noods at all, ended the era and began the YEEEAUHHHH! era.
