And I remember seeing that Maynard's commercial run just a couple of times on this side of the pond. Strange it didn't get more exposure over here.

Now for a combination '90s music video-commercial parody:

That Barq's commercial is burned into my brain, it's pretty much the perfect TV commercial. I think it was single-handedly responsible for my 6 month root beer addiction. Still great. My second-favourite 90's commercial barely ran here, I only saw it once, but it was memorable:

It's time for ...
Let me correct your headline!:
Why you should never, ever touch that hospital elevator button
Hospital elevator buttons, because they are more often touched by our built-in germ transmission devices (e.g. our hands) are ~15-25% more likely to be colonized by pathogenic and (most often) non-pathogenic bacteria than toilet surface
Thanks for playing...

So this seems like something worth sharing here.
Fireworks filmed with a drone.
I'm not sure how I feel about the rapidly increasing ubiquity of drones, but this is kinda cool.

Ironically, one of the biggest social problems currently reported at work is lack of confidence, also known as Impostor Syndrome. People with confidence try to help people fix their Impostor Syndrome, under the theory that they are in fact as smart as people say they are, and they just need to accept it.
But I think Impostor Syndrome is valuable. The people with Impostor Syndrome are the people who *aren't* sure that a logical proof of their smartness is sufficient. They're looking around them and finding something wrong, an intuitive sense that around here, logic does not always agree with reality, and the obviously right solution does not lead to obviously happy customers, and it's unsettling because maybe smartness isn't enough, and maybe if we don't feel like we know what we're doing, it's because we don't.
Impostor Syndrome is that voice inside you saying that not everything is as it seems, and it could all be lost in a moment. The people with the problem are the people who can't hear that voice.
