[QUOTE=flight] The classic that I am surprised wasn’t one of the first to get mentioned: [Ikea’s](http://youtube.com/watch?v=yx43NJVYBg8) lamp. [/QUOTE] How could I have left that one out. And yeah, I DO feel sorry for the lamp. Another classic not mentioned yet-- The series where Giles from Buffy and his neighbor fall in love over coffee (Maxwell House? Taster’s Choice?) ---

Nope, Taster’s Choice was the coffee with the love story. As for Folgers, it is, apparently, the best part of wakin’ up. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/to-counterbalance-commercials-you-love/417207.md?page=4)
