Do You Remember Any of The Ads?

Today I wanted to do something fun. Millennial Marketing Besties, this one’s for you. 

I am going to put 8 links to nostalgic Millennial ads. Let’s see how many you remember from the clue, BEFORE THE LINK. Reply back with how many you recall. Don’t cheat. 

There are 8… how many did you get out of 8??

1️⃣ Pizza in the morning. Pizza in the evening. Pizza at….

Do you already know what the ad is?

Here is the Ad

Why I love this ad: The message is simple and direct: THIS SNACK is the ultimate versatile snack, perfect for any time of day. It doesn’t overcomplicate the product’s value proposition. Instead, it taps into the universal love for pizza and the unbeatable convenience of having it in bite-sized, anytime portion. OK I GAVE IT AWAY. 

2️⃣ Zoom Zoom

I’m talking way before Zoom calls.

Fish out of water. Iconic packaging.
