Prepare to be transported back in time....to the days when Home Alone was in the pictures and Madonna's 'Vogue' topped the charts.
This was of course in 1990 - a year that will be fondly remembered by Glaswegians as one when the city celebrated its status as European Capital of Culture and when we were treated to the sight of a certain Rab C. Nesbitt for the first time on our TV screens.
An old Irn-Bru advert has popped up out of nowhere from the same year - and will no doubt provide for the ultimate Scottish nostalgia trip for folk who watch it.
Glaswegian Alex Glass discovered the "little gem" whilst working on a video from 1990.
The 'Made in Scotland from Girders' ad has everything you might expect it to have - a cheesy (yet ridiculously catchy) Bon Jovi-esque rock song, dodgy haircuts that everyone will be glad to see the back off and even worse clothes.
There's even someone using a pay phone - remember them?
The ad is a blatant send-up of the Coca Cola and Pepsi ads of the era with its vintage cars, American football players, a GI and a wee majorette - providing for a weird juxtaposition of folk who look better suited to a Gap advert clutching 'gingie bottles'.
And with the song having words such as "Wouldn’t you know it / It’s one of those ads / Lots of kids with white teeth and giant shoulder pads / It’s not a drink by those crazy Yanks / Because It’s made right here / You know it’s tougher than tanks / Made in Scotland from girders / Unpronounceable too / Made in Scotland from girders / Barr’s Irn Bru" we can get a further idea.
Granted, seeing people clutch the old cans of Irn-Bru does look very retro-cool, and we bet they would fly off the shelves if they were to bring them back today - even more so if they were stocked in the retro Irn-Bru vending machine that appears at the end.
And it steals the show by becoming sentient and planting a 'malky' on a Yank in true Rab C. Nesbitt style!
