This infamously awful 1990s TV ad for Ferrero Rocher chocolates (ohhh, they’re so good, though!) is really a little bit perfect. It would be even better, though, if the next scene is the (slightly-buzzed) ambassador at the scene of a vehicular homicide, passing his diplomatic papers to the investigating officer with a smile and a nicely wrapped chocolate. Turning to the camera, he could say: “just two of the many privileges accorded to our society’s elite.”

(In related news, there are OTHER KINDS of Ferrero wrapped chocolates! Has anyone eaten a Ferrero Garden [Forest Fruits]??)
