Fans were baffled to see the five-time world champion featureYouTube/Chocomel UK
The ad cuts to Van Barneveld wearing a hard hat and a hi-vis vest, sitting in a wheelbarrow on a building site as if he has just completed a day of labour.
He takes a sip of the drink while the voiceover says: “For the hardworking heroes, you deserve it.”
The advert was originally aired in Van Barneveld’s native Netherlands, where viewers are more likely to recognise the darts legend.
So darts fans in the UK are a little surprised and confused to see him feature.
One viewer reacted saying: “Hang on a minute. Did I just see Raymond Van Barneveld on a chocomel advert dressed as a labourer with absolutely no reference to who he is? What’s going on?”
Another added: “Aye seen this advert the other day, really bizarre like.”
A third wrote: “That Chocomel advert is so weird. Like, Raymond van Barneveld is in it yet there’s no acknowledgement at all that it’s Raymond van Barneveld.”
And another commented: “I thought I was tripping.”
