Very few commercials have long term appeal, let alone the ability to stick in your mind years after the fact.
I loved this ad years before I could even drink, it wasn't until I was actually allowed to (almost 15 years ago) that I actually got it. And loved it more.

The way the tires move up the ramp is by being unbalanced inside. At the start, they are balancing with the heavy side on top. Once they're given a nudge, they start falling uphill. While the bottom point of the tire rises, the center of mass lowers.

Caveat: I don't know this for a fact, but that's how I would do it, and I can't think of any other way.

Well, it looked like video manipulation. That is, the tire seemed to stop for a moment then mysteriously started up again, but your explanation makes sense.

I read that the entire thing was real, and that it took over 300 takes to make it work properly to get the entire series in an uninterrupted cut.

Actually, I believe there's ONLY ONE cut in it, at a rather inconsequential location halfway through, but during its creation they did do several full run-throughs uninterrupted.

Lisa, I was just about to go try to find that one (the Bush/Gore Snickers ad). Favorite commercial ever!
