A commercial break from 1998 - a perfect three-ad slice of late-’90s television style.
💡 Commercials featured:
0:00 - Nike F.I.T. featuring Gabrielle Reece — athletic, sleek, and empowering
0:30 - Lipton Brisk Iced Tea – a surreal Claymation-style ad starring Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson that’s equal parts funny and bizarre
1:00 - Mercedes-Benz “Passion” – a beautifully shot spot closing out the break with elegance and emotion
Together, these three ads show how 1998 advertising balanced athleticism, humor, and sophistication — all within one short break during a live sports event.
Digitally preserved from an original ABC broadcast, this clip captures the exact tone and texture of late-’90s commercial breaks — from the motion graphics to the music cues.
