Will catch up in a bit

I showed A. an old ad for Reese’s that is on YT. It depicts a young man and a young woman walking down the street wearing their walkmans. She’s eating peanut butter out of a jar. He has a gigantic chocolate bar. They run into each other, say the iconic phrases, what’s his face pops into the middle to show the Reese’s package and there is voiceover. They like it, they are showing walking away side by side eating peanut butter dripping off chocolate. Funnier than I remembered. Ages well as long as you recognize how surreal it was even then.
