Meow, meow, meow ...

This month’s suggested topic, My favourite commercial, was a tough one for me, so I took it as a challenge. You see, I watch very little commercial TV these days. Other than a news program in the early evening, the rest of my TV viewing is via various streaming services. (Though some of those are now subjecting us to ads – I’m looking at you, Prime.)

To recall my favourite TV ad, I had to delve into my memory. Given my poor memory for certain things, this meant a perusal of Google and YouTube. It didn’t take long, though, to find some old favourites. 

Say it with me, kids. Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun. Anyone else have that memorized?

And then there was the carbonated beverage that would teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.

But the ad that gave me the biggest warm & fuzzy feeling is this one:

And the reason I loved it so much was because the last cat in the video was the spitting image of the family cat we had at the time. Gurgi was a lovely boy and a great lap cat. Knowing me, I’m sure I made Gurgi watch that commercial so he could see himself on TV.
