· Time to make the donuts

· The choice of a new generation
· Milk, it does the body good
· Calgon take me away
· Dawn takes grease out of your way

· Secret, strong enough for man, made for a woman
· We make it your way right away at Burger King

"The best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup" I noticed that they have played the commercial from the '80's recently. Peter comes home for Christmas and the sister comes down the stairs and they make coffee for their parents.

Marlboro man is an icon. On the new reality show with Tommy Hilfiger, he mentioned that just last night. It's an icon that does not change with trends. The assignment was for the participants to shoot a pic to create an image that would be a lasting ad icon. Interesting you posted on this topic!

You must have watched commercials at some point to have all that in your head! Interesting what sticks and what doesn't in commercial land.
