I was a young, impressionable boy at the time that pepsi harrier ad aired, and honestly thought they might actually be offering it as a prize at the time.

While,

no objective person could reasonably have concluded that the commercial actually offered consumers a Harrier Jet.

…thousands of naive children like myself inevitably brought in to it wholesale. And that was an ad that featured child actors, and ran during children’s programming, in between ads for Gak and Micromachines.

Skywriting doesn’t carry a risk of causing an ablation cascade that could destroy any future opportunities for flight, though.
