I guess I shouldn&rsquo;t be surprised that Coke and Pepsi made the list, but I was quite happy to see that Absolut did as well.  I&rsquo;ve been collecting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.absolutad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Absolut ads<\/a> since the early &lsquo;90s and never tire of their variety and originality; I have well over 600 now and still keep up the collection.<\/p>\n<p>There are several recent TV ad campaigns that may eventually make a list such as this one.  I&rsquo;m guessing that more of the people producing these ads are close to my age; the references, music, and sense of humor used in many of them definitely point in that direction.  However, I predict a backlash to this sudden nostalgia.  I have a strong connection to music, so when someone suddenly appropriates a song and plays it ad nauseum, it really bothers me that my impression of the song becomes tainted.  I suppose that&rsquo;s what remote controls are for, but it doesn&rsquo;t change the fact that many songs I considered forgotten gems have become mainstream sell-outs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/3501955-90192113?l=www.driko.org%2Findex_blogger.html\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>adweek.com presents its list of the Top 20 Ad Campaigns of the Last 20 Years.
