We went for sushi today, and one of the TVs in the restaurant played Japanese commercials; at first I thought it was a commercial break, but no, that was all that. One of the ads was for Snickers, of the "hungry, you're not yourself" slogan. An angry older woman was shouting at young people, so they gave her a Snickers, and she turned into a young, polite man. I don't think an ad like that would fly in the West in 2026; it would be ageism and sexism and what not. Thing have changed.

But maybe I'm wrong. I realised later that one of the commercials were for a "One Piece" game for PlayStation 4, which wouldn't make sense now, so they might have been playing old commercials.
