90s energy and on TV
I’m trying to identify an old UK TV advert from the mid-to-late 1990s.
The main things I remember are:
- a lit match
- the flame going out
- then the match relighting itself
- a male voiceover
The advert had a sort of "what if?" tone, in that the voiceover asked questions like "what if we could re-use energy?"
I strongly associate it with a renewable-energy, green-energy, or alternative-energy message.
Definitely a corporate advert rather than one selling a normal product.
I originally wondered if it might have been BASF or another company with initials.
The relighting match is the key image I remember most clearly.
Does this ring a bell with anybody? Total long shot I know.
