Tanishq - Moham

An old song from Veera Abhimanyu so well used for Tanishq jewellery line called "Moham". Very apt and in place with its Deja Vu like ambience :)

Pillsbury - Poppin' Fresh

Pillsbury Poppin' Fresh Ad from the '80s. Known for his distinct giggle on being poked, Poppin' Fresh is still favorite world over. its USP being the innocent giggle and the tiny bulge which is a sure sign of prosperity.:)

Trivia:Courtesy Wikipedia.

Dunkin' Donuts - Retro

Fresh Donuts at the stake of Fred, The Baker's personal life :).
He looks so exhausted and tired baking donuts "Twice Everday....upto 52 varieties..."

Guess the regular Labour Laws do not apply to Bakers...




Well.. other than just baking donuts looks like Fred the baker, managed to create his junior too..... :)

80's commercial from US of A

A few retrocommercials from US of A all stringed together.. there are some really corny and hilarious ones... It goes to show that consumers today have matured in their tastes and are not easily convinced by jazzy superfluous advertisements, which sends out signals that they are nothing more than a sham. These ads are in sharp contrast to the emotional appeal to the crowd and subliminal message to buy their products today. Today's ads thrive on subconciously moving the consumer by preying on the innately present hedonistic tendencies. Once in a while it pays to take a quick look at ads of yesterday... atleast for their humour quotient :)
