Just added to a thread about discontinued confectionery. Made me think about adverts that stick in your mind. What nostalgic adverts do you remember well?

This one?

The ad I'm thinking of is a teen girl who is pining after her beau (I think), I can remember her moving all around the house and lying on the sofa.

I fell down the rabbit hole if watching old adverts on YouTube recently.

Very nostalgic, but odd considering I don't have the patience to watch the with adverts nowadays.

Levis 'Creek' advert where the girl thinks the guy is swimming naked and lifts up the discarded jeans only to find they belong to the old man with the long beard - the guy emerges wearing his shrink to fit Levis.

Genius. And such a good song as well... 'Inside' by Stiltskin. God I miss the 1990s.
