La Cucaracha



This was apparently the first post-Communist commercial ever aired on Polish television. They hadn't quite worked out how capitalism actually worked; namely, not scaring the shit out of people.
They did, however, learn the art of nîche marketing in this appeal to boat skippers, people in body casts, ladies who stock up on plum jam, and proud Polska chefs.
