Alright, kind of a strange one. I remember as a kid I would hang out with my Nana and watch TV, although she would stick to channels that would play ads made more for an adult audience. Around election season, 2012 and Obama re-running specifically, there's one ad I've never been able to get out of my head for just how absurd I found it as a youngin.
The commercial opens up with an ice cream truck pulling into a neighborhood, followed by the kids running out and grabbing their snacks. Shortly afterward we cut to a further away shot of the truck beginning to glow. Afterwards we cut to a closeup of the kids hand as he drops his popsicle, the glow overtaking this shot as well. We then cut back to the far away view of the truck, time reverting back to normal as the thing explodes. I could be misrembering some parts of this, but the general gist of the kid dropping the ice cream and the bomb are definitely correct.
At the end it was basically the classic political rhetoric of "if you vote the other guy (in this case Obama) then this is going to happen etc." I've looked for this for years and can't find any trace of it, yet I recall multiple occasions of me watching it; on top of this, I remember both my Nana and my mom commenting on it. Thanks for any help received.
