Nothing says nonconformity like buying or selling a mass-produced product, so Andrew and Vieves look at ads aimed at the rebels, renegades and iconoclasts in need of SUVs, car insurance and Beanie Babies. Plus, a batch of 90s ads sows more confusion around long distance calling and floral arrangements.
