I remember those classic comercials. And I like the Ameriquest one also.
Here's Pepsi commercial I found on youtube. I don't know how Hong Kong avert can get away with one that's over 3 minutes long.
Any one that had ever played 'Final Fantasy' might recognize the characters.

Epic commercial, Ann! Thanks for sharing it!
Samsung actually managed to get away with a 9-minute commercial a few years ago! I mean, technically it's a music video, but it was all sponsored for the product placement. The company took four of Korea's top musical celebrities of the time and formed them into a promotional "super band."
If anyone ever gets bored enough to watch the whole thing (or even part of it, haha), it's kind of a cool concept. Music as terrorism? What a strange world that would be!

Here's a Pentene Ad from Thailand. Love the ad, but still don't quite get how it ties in with Pentene.

Thanks a million for that, Ann! I wept like a baby, then I went downstairs with my flute and played Pachelbel's Canon for hours.

this isn't the kind of commercial you are probably expecting but it is one nontheless. This was an event that happened in order to advertise auditions for the role of Fraulein Maria in a Belgian musical production of "The Sound Of Music".
