1997 commercial for California Scratchers (instant lottery tickets) plays up how way better the new Scratchers are. I doubt the Scratchers really were any better at all, but state lotteries regularly rework their instant tickets to be different and say they are better than before.
Here we have to tea-drinking, proper ladies doing the selling to us. There were other similar ads which used other groups of two people from different walks of life, all using the "way better" description.
This local insert spot aired during an October 26th, 1997 showing of X-files. This was season premiere week for Fox, although X-Files did not premiere until the week after.
