Growing up in the 90s, we never realized it, but we were seeing the golden age of advertising on television. More than two decades ago, ad agencies unarguably made the most relatable and catchiest clips. In fact, sometimes, they were better than the shows we were meaning to watch. Heart-warming storylines, delightful jingles and memorable characters - these ads were pretty much a celebration of life.
