From Amul’s “utterly-butterly girl” to Dhara’s “jalebi boy”, the picture is a treasure trove for those who have a special place in their hearts for the old advertisements.

It didn’t take long for netizens to take a trip down the memory lane. While some tried to identify the ads, others appreciated the painting.

Later, a Twitter user claimed that he identified all the ads hidden in the painting. He also wrote that the painting is created by a team of five people - Sandeep Sawant, Hitesh Shah, Arun Udmale, Subodh and Pavan - from BBDO India.

What’s your score? How many did you manage to spot?
