At the time, Pepsi released a commercial that introduced a points-for-prizes scheme, a no doubt innocuous idea at first. If you saved Pepsi labels you would be able to redeem Pepsi-branded merchandise, such as a T-shirt for 75 points or a leather jacket for 1,450. But one college student, John Leonard, was intrigued by the biggest prize PepsiCo’s advert had to offer: An AV-8 Harrier II jump jet.

Just a year ago, Cristiano Ronaldo captained Portugal to the European Championship, defeating hosts France in the final to win their first ever major competition. Teenage midfielder Renato Sanches was one of the side’s stars in the competition, garnering interest from all of Europe’s top clubs before eventually agreeing to join Bayern Munich for an initial €35 million, which could rise to €80m with add-ons. Bayern’s new logo looks like old one...

While new generations of viewers happily binged the more than 200 episodes of Friends on the streaming service, many people couldn’t help but notice that the 1990s phenomenon falls flat when it comes to some key standards of modern-day entertainment.

Similarly, serial monogamists often have no interest in meeting their partner’s parents or families....
