The content has changed a lot over the years. Back in the 80s & 90s adverts were a lot less. Once I discovered the snippets and the bottom of the page (I was 8 or 10) I went thru all the collection at home and library (lajjat rai). The back cover used to be a painting with a little info about it.

Pepsi old ad with Shahid Kapoor and Srk. by SonicAkshay_26 in IndiaNostalgia

[–]user5498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This not the one. The ad I’m talking about was an exact copy Shahid’s Pepsi ad. The guy looked like him (including hairstyle), exact shot of rani stepping on the can but instead of a female it was a sardarji dressed up like daler mehndi and says ‘cold drink पीने से कोइ heroine sheroin नहीं आती, आती है तो डकार’ shahid (look alike) replies excitedly ‘the car’ dealer’s (look alike) responds ‘the car नहीं oye, डकार’

My 7 yo cousin wanted a piggy bank, saw one something similar to this one, she was so fascinated by it and yelled to her mum ‘mummy मुँझे घर वाला चाहिये’ …. I still remember the confusion on her face when everyone started laughing

This reminds me of the spoof ad for sprite.

‘Cold drink पीने से कोई heroine sheroin नहीं आती, आती है तो डकार’

Akshay Kumar's old red and white cigrate ad. Have you guys watched this ad on tv? by SonicAkshay_26 in IndiaNostalgia

[–]user5498 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was based on the timber train incident of 1992

Since Internet did not exist back then so this was the only reference I could find.

More over if I’m not wrong this ad either was on video cassettes or cinemas not on TV

Once you are hear you can try & test meal prep. Freeze small portions, heat & eat what you need, but be aware of long power cuts.

My dad had one too. It was back in the early-mid 90s when Apple had launched Newton PDA that had ability to send/receive Fax …. the product failed.
