I remember my friends discussing this commercial and saying they wish their parents were cool enough to use drugs. Then in high school when I had a friend whose parents smoked pot, he’d complain that he’d have to hide his stash because they would search his room and smoke it themselves.

I’ve always wondered what the content of the cigar box was. It’s as if it was kept a mystery on purpose, much like the briefcase in "Pulp Fiction".

They missed an opportunity to use the same message to teach teens other important lessons, such as “I heard you and your friends talking about girls last night. You need to protect yourself from AIDS. Why didn’t you wear a condom?”

On second thought, maybe that’s just a shitty message.

Yeah I guess in my mind it was always heroin needles or some other kind of drug that involved some kind of learned technique to administer. “Who taught you how to use a joint?” doesn’t even make sense. Even rewatching it now I’m not quite sure what’s supposed to be in that box.
