Back in my home country…
In the late 1990s Chesdale’s two mascots - Ches, a dairy farmer, and Dale, a cheese factory worker - reunited after retiring from television advertising in New Zealand during 1975.
Dale: Ches, is that you?
Ches: Dale! How are you, mate? Long time no see.
Dale: You haven’t changed a bit. This must be Little Ches.
Ches: Yeah. Hey! Remember the old song?
(Music starts)
Ches + Dale: 
We are the boys from down on the farm,
We really know our cheese.
There’s much better value in Chesdale,
It never fails to please.
Chesdale…
(Ches and Dale forget to sing the next verse)
Little Ches: And boy, it’s got a mighty taste!
Ches + Dale: Chesdale cheese!
(Pause)
Little Ches: It’s finest cheddar,
All: Made better!

They reaired that ad around 2010 I think?

IIRC, when Ten aired the first episode of the US Life On Mars remake, they had a retro-themed ad break which featured the Gaytime ad and one of Colgate’s Mrs Marsh ads.

When the Lexcen ad first came out, I thought “how could it look like a Holden Commodore?” It was not until years later that I learned that the Lexcen was made by United Australian Automobile Industries, a joint venture of Toyota and Holden.

The Lexcen was not the only one. Toyota Camry and Holden Apollo. Mazda 323 and Ford Laser. I think it was something to do with a federal government policy at the time.

The Button Car Plan. I can remember the Holden Nova and Ford Corsair as well, which were from Toyota and Nissan respectively.
