This was a Super popular ad in 90s in India - Cadbury Ad

They did the same ad with a very nice message last year - 2022 Ad

Oh depends how far we would go in the past but for me there was few from NIKE that I like a lot, e.g

Nike Commercial - THE CAGE

It was a nice combination and a lot of famous players from old times showing their skills! :)

There was a part 2 even ;) ..

and other from these years especially those freestyle Soccer and Basketball

Nicely done!

I remember McDonalds used to have good ads back in the 80s. Would always get me to go buy something from there:-

@Kristján Geir Mathiesen Great topic as usual!

But I'm sure the commercials that form the nostalgic backdrop of my childhood would not resonate with anyone who has not grown up in India of 1980s and 90s! I actually believe that commercials then had far more connect with the consumers and have instant recall value even now - becoming part of the collective memory and culture of the Indian subcontinent of those times!

Thanks again for the wonderful topic!
