Four-Year-Old Robinsons Wimbledon Ad Gets Proper Ending

Way back in 2009, BBH London created a seat-of-your-pants commercial for UK soda brand Robinsons. The ad showed the edge-of-your-seat excitement British fans experienced as they cheered for a British player to win for the first time in 73 years. A win that, sadly, never happened. Now, after 77 years — and four years after BBH London created the ad — Britain has won Wimbledon and the Robinsons ad now has a proper ending.

Over the July 4 break, Britain’s Andy Murray won Wimbledon, besting Novak Djokovic to bring Britain’s 77 year losing streak to an end. A voiceover added to the end of the original ad reads, Worth the wait, wasn’t it?”

People who apologize before anyone’s said what’s wrong may be doing more than displaying extra manners — research on parentification has found that children who grow up feeling responsible for a parent’s emotional state can carry that habit of anticipating, managing, and taking responsibility for other people’s feelings into their adult relationships, long after the household that taught it is gone.

There are things about a life that are worth keeping to yourself even with people you trust completely, not because there is anything shameful in them, but because privacy is one of the few forms of ownership nobody can take from you once you have given it away.
