I swear I saw this commercial on tv as a kid (2000s).

The commercial features an old couple and the plot is basically that one of them buys lemons, forgets that they bought lemons, and then the other one keeps finding them in strange places.

Now, I cannot, for the life of me, find this commercial on the internet and I’m starting to wonder if it was all a dream.

Does anyone know what I’m talking about? Better yet, does anyone have this commercial?

      I found a Reddit post from 1 year ago, of someone looking for the milk version. So I’m not crazy that it existed.

      But the internet is broken now so I also can’t find any trace of the original video.

    Sounds vaguely familiar but I can’t seem to find anything about it. I’ve tried searching for Alzheimer’s commercial lemon, dementia commercial lemon, Canada commercial Alzheimer’s/dementia and came up short.

      Yeah, I’ve searched everything I can think of. All I’ve been getting are articles about citrus’s effect on the brain and something about Don Lemon

    I remember the one about milk, and it also reminds me of the carbon monoxide thread where someone kept finding notes that they forgot they put their and freaking themselves out.

    Yeah, I remember it… For my grandmother, it was three things…

    1. Every time she went shopping, she’d get two pounds of butter. She had 20+ pounds of butter in her freezer when I visited once. She said “they were on sale”… but the best before dates spanned over a year.

    2. She said the phone was broken, because she couldn’t call any of her friends. She lost the ability to copy the numbers from her address book to the phone properly.

    3. She was also hoarding cash. There was almost $3k in cash on the kitchen table in an envelope. So much money in small bills that the envelope was stuffed full. I took all but $250 to the bank to deposit it.
