There are some of you desis out there who know exactly what I’m talking about. That’s right! It’s Gold Spot (the drink, not the band). It even has its own Wikipedia entry, dammit!

This should take you back a few years…

    excellent. now if only you can dig up that old egg ad:

    Khaana meri jaan, meri jaan
    Murgi ke ande
    Khaana meri jaan,
    Murgi ke ande

    or this Bajaj ad:

    Jab mein chota ladka tha,

    Love it! Remember:
    When you’re feeling good
    Having fun with all, hooray
    There’s a beautiful feeling
    Of love and togetherness
    There’s more in life
    With Campa Cola
    Campa Cola, Campa Cola
    Campa Cola, Campa Cola
