The 120-second spot, titled “Histoire d’un Amour” features a hopeless romantic who goes to the supermarket to buy frozen burgers and runs into her ex-boyfriend. Overwhelmed by memories, she imagines all sorts of romantic moments, browsing the shelves of the store, until a kiss from the current girlfriend wakes her up to reality.
They say that when you go to buy toilet paper at the supermarket, you’re most likely to run into your ex. That’s true, except that in my case it’s frozen burgers. Which isn’t great when the last thing he said to me before leaving me was: “It would be good if you grew up a little, huh” – the voiceover says.
The song playing in the commercial is “Histoire d’un Amour” by Dalida, a romantic French ballad released in 1957.
