"A Packet Full of Sunshine"

Sooner or later things passes into its total counterpart. When I grew up there were no commercials on TV or radio, read more here (opens in a new window). We were protected by our popular elected. The only time and place where you could watch commercials was at cinemas. "Hurry up, we will miss the commercials" was the standard phrase. The fascination for commercials is hard to believe today, when we are totally drenched in them. The first TV commercial I saw was when TV3 started broadcasting in 1988. I still remember the commercial. It was a commercial for a perfume called Lou Lou by Cacharel. "Lou Lou - Oui C'est Moi". Very French, indeed. It's available on Youtube if you are interested. Ads is the cost for services being free of charge. Never in my life would I have imagined a situation where I had to pay to avoid ads. Recently, I caved in to unnerving interruptions and got a Youtube Premium membership just to block the ads. We will see if I'm going to become a loyal member. I'm frugal on the verge of crossing the line into being cheap. The first month is free, then $16 dollar a month. Some people miss the cinema commercials. Looking back, the aesthetics have changed considerably since the 1970s. I particularly remember the Juicy Fruit ad. Young and sporty people engaged in water sports. The aesthetics today is quite different. You don't want to know and - definitely - you don't want to watch.
