I only thought of the Ariston adverts briefly the other day when I was trying to come up with one of my traditionally irrelevant post titles - they rank, in my most humble estimation, as some of the most irritating adverts of the whole 90s.
This is the advert that I remember most clearly - the nostalgic amongst you will note the Gameboy music in the background that was used - from the Robocop game, I'm led to believe. I used to enjoy playing on that.
The only problem with looking up such a thing is that you end up stuck in a vicious spiralling circle of rampant nostalgia and time-wasting decay. See, for example, the Kia Ora advert (it's too orangy for crows, it's just for me and my dog), Toys'R'Us (there's millions says Geoffrey, all under one roof), McDonalds (McNuggets awaaay!), Shake'n'Vac (and put the freshness back), Vitalite (oooooooh, Vit-a-lite) - and 28 seconds into this video, my favourite ever advert, the Mushy Pea Advert.
Fun times.
