Mr Chips was Burry's answer for Chips Ahoy. They came in 3 flavors and had quite the mysterious mascot. A few months ago I was lucky to get a salesman sample box of all three flavors. The amazing thing is that the boxes are still sealed in cello wrap and full of cookies!
They made 3 Mr Chips comics in 1965. In my collection I have the complete original artwork to one of the comics which may have been done by the Jay Ward Studios.
I also have a few animation cels with Mr Chips. I have never seen the commercials so I am not sure what he did with that giant cannon....

the giant cannon was used to blast chocolate chips into the cookies.

Fantastic post!
I’ve been searching for video of the commercial without luck for years.
I recall it being mildly scary as a kid. The figure mumbled and was only seen in silhouette scurrying around and firing the canon.
I loved it. Amazing that you have all of this stuff after so many years. Thanks for posting
