Old advertisement quiz

You must have seen hundreds of advertisements on TV and in the cinema. How many of them have left an impression in your mind and you can still remember them after all the years?

Here is one I saw once in a cinema a long time ago. I don't know why I can still remember it, of course not all the details.
It was a short cartoon strip.....

A man was trudging through a desert. You could see the scorching sun, the burning sand, skeletons of dead animals and the haggard look on the man's face . Towards the end of the advert the man reached an oasis. He took a rest ... and then viewers saw what the advert was trying to sell.

Well, what do you think the advertisement was telling you to buy?

For example - a brand of skin lotion,
Anchor beer, some air-conditioners, soft drinks like Green Spot, 7 Up, etc.

Fido Dido 7-Up advertisement. I could not remember the desert one you mentioned and I could only find this one on YouTube. But I certainly could remember this one quite clearly.
