Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could remind me of what an advert that was
doing the rounds last year on TV is for.

It was about some Jamaican drink, where a bus arrived 1 minute late to
a bus stop and the driver would get lip from everyone. He would then
say "You're giving me road rage" in a very calm tone. The advert would
end with a chap on a bike sitting behind the bus and moaning "oh, man,
it's total gridlock".

I'm just missing the drink's name so I can try and trace a video or
something on the Net. Thanks to all in advance!

Regards,

Miguel

Not sure whether it's Lilt or Malibu, but the advert is still current in
both of the cinemas I regularly visit.

It's either malibu or bicardi. It was the best thing about "The mummy
returns" BTW.

It was definitely Malibu. they ran this ad before Bridget Jones when

Oh hardly!!! Mike and I saw it last night in MK and it was absolutely
excellent!!! Special effects were amazing and the story wasn't too
bad either.

Miguel,
The product is Malibu, two were made in the late 1990s, "Bus" and
"Fisherman" versions.
