If there\u2019s one thing that connects us all across generations, it\u2019s our youth because we were all young once. Older folks just have the benefit of a little more living, that\u2019s all. Doesn\u2019t make it better or worse, it just plain is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when one very clever company needed a way to connect generations in a way that folks of all ages can relate. What better way to set the scene than a day at the beach. Because the beach can come with so many happy memories. You\u2019re probably even thinking of some now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the background, a familiar tune begins to play. We\u2019ve all heard it. It takes a moment to recognize where it\u2019s from. You can thank The Beach Boys for sharing their \u201cKokomo\u201d melody and giving their blessing for the gentle memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the scene and atmosphere set, our scraggly, handsome hero, a surfer, wakes up on the beach after being rescued by some very special little lifeguards. I would call them his guardian angels because it\u2019s an apt description, wouldn\u2019t you say?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The surfer does a double-take, and aside from the juxtaposition, he gets up and walks along the beach where he soon discovers more \u2018youthful\u2019 kindred spirits. It\u2019s quite ordinary. It\u2019s a scene from any day at the beach: some folks are sunning, some are catching up on their reading under the shade, some are swimming, there\u2019s music, and it\u2019s pure bliss. Can you feel it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then our surfer friends passe by someone who looks somewhat like his younger self. If you notice the necklaces they share, they are identical \u2014 I know that\u2019s a strange thing, but our hero is indeed a stranger in a strange land shared by angelic companions, so anything is possible? It is a dream after all\u2026 or is it? Read on, friend\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here comes the twist\u2026 As the video comes to its inevitable close and, no matter how much we may want it to go on (but rest assured, the replay button is your fingertips), our surfer friend walks up to a breezy, thatched \u201cpalapa\u201d with promises of cool refreshment\u2026 and perhaps enlightenment if not an epiphany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There our hero (and indeed, we) finally receive a sign and the message is clear: \u201cLive Young.\u201d This is a message worthy of sharing with the world because it needs a reminder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"662\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iKo6MsCaPTs\" title=\"Evian Baby Commercial | New 2016 | Dance Babies are Back\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We are all children at heart. What a beautiful message, isn\u2019t it though? This might be just a clever commercial, but it\u2019s a beautiful one with a healthy message that you don\u2019t need to buy anything to take home with you to enjoy.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahh, to be young again! \ud83d\ude42 In this video, adults see themselves as babies in their reflections, and an epic dance party ensues.
