I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
Sssssshweppes has been quite consistent through the years targeting "that moment". This is a very nicely done execution of this strategy. I used to really like the John Cleese subliminal ad one, but lets be honest, that had nothing to do with the "grown up" targeting.

Meanwhile, there used to be a designer rule that any brand that had orange in the logo was either German, Dutch or had been occupied by Germany during the war. ;)
Can places still look like this? It's like a time-capsule of Britishness. This and and that Swan matches ad, where they catch a train and ride though the country. So green. Such a retro train. So British I almost squealed.
Hahaha, Richard Jeni .. I don't know. I recall this as being on SNL when I was a kid, which puts it in the John Belushi / Chase/ Gilda Radner era. Richard Jeni's "cooking with the Bill the belching gourmet" is quite funny though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ymgcsi0mTDA

I do know that a Seattle comedy groupd has one a *new* version now, but that was not the one I meant when I wrote the bit to this post.
I'm glad Allan1 recalls the spoof too, and since he's a teensy bit older than me, I believe, we're positive this was in the 1970/80s era.
