The somewhat erotic imagery associated with Blue Ribbon carried over into the Heart commercials when an upmarket version of those was launched containing Blue Ribbon Ice Cream.  Not as erotic as that original ad though – I remember everyone in the boardroom going 16 shades of red when they heard it the first time 🙂
