Are you that 80s and 90s kid who lived a happy life sans internet? A new Twitter post will take you down a merry nostalgic ride into the world of advertisements. A picture of a painting, featuring 40 most famous Indian advertisements, has gone viral on social media. A far cry from the optical illusions inundating social media, the new post, which is a normal painting, has ads that have been strategically hidden in the painting and are not very easy to spot.
From the famous Wah Taj, to the Amul girl or even Dhara's jalebi boy, netizens will find many familiar faces while scanning the painting, which was created for an event called ZeeMelt.
The image was first shared by a Twitter user, Vaibhav Vishal who captioned it, "This painting has 40 best Indian ads hidden, including all the classics. Lovely little trip for nostalgia lovers. Have fun. And reward yourself with some jalebis when done. Kyonki Surf ki kharidari mein hi samajhdaari hai."

The 40 hidden images denoting advertorials in the picture are mostly from the classic era of Indian advertising - 80s and 90s.
As soon as the tweet was posted, the guessing game began. While many became invested in figuring out the ad, others simply applauded the artist for a stellar piece of artwork.
One user wrote, "Just looking at the painting of the Cadbury's dancing girl has made my morning," while another posted, "Njoyed the trip down the memory lane."
A third user spoke about how it was a jolly ride down memory lane. She wrote, "This picture brings back so many happy memories. Such a treat for the eyes & senses. The very best of Indian advertising. Finally cracked all 40 with help from all my folks...oh what a feeling. United us then, unite us even now. Such nostalgia."
