* Around the 90's, Corn Nuts had a set of radio ads with catchy jingles about enjoying the titular product... or as the singers phrase it, "[[DoubleEntendre bust a nut]]". The surrounding lyrics do not help with the imagery, and the opening disclaimer ("This is a song about Corn Nuts, an intensely crunchy snack. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It's not about anything else]].") makes it clear they knew what they were doing.
-->Bust a nut! Bust a nut!\\
Grab a bag of Corn Nuts and bust a nut!\\
They're lightly toasted and hard as well,\\
Enjoy yourself, we won't tell...\\
Everybody does it, they like it a lot,\\

* A 2021 Super Bowl ad for Bud Light Seltzer Lemonade playing off the WhenLifeGivesYouLemons saying had a montage of 2020 events getting destroyed by lemons falling from the sky, to the point where nobody can use airports, attend weddings, attend concerts, or even stay outside due to the raining lemons. A FreezeFrameBonus also mentions concerts being cancelled due to a "lemon surge" and the governor giving daily lemon briefings. It's very obvious the lemons are a metaphor for the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic.

* This happens ''all the time'' in Canadian advertising, specifically when trying to advertise direct-to-consumer prescription drugs like Viagra, Cialis and Celebrex. Much like the European restrictions on talking about a car's maximum speed mentioned on another page, Canadian drug ads are allowed as long as the advertisement does not directly mention the purpose of the product. In response, many companies, Viagra maker Pfizer in particular, rely on SuspiciouslyAproposMusic, DoubleEntendre and DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything when they advertise up north. This has lead to brilliant Viagra ads like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFGpI8bfep0 a satisfied customer dancing down a street while "Good Morning, Good Morning" from Singin' in the Rain plays in the background]]; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExQKZKnk6rA the "International Language of Viagra" campaign]] where people speak in [[SpeakingSimlish Simlish]] about their re-energized sex lives thanks to Viagra; and another ad for Cialis (can't find a link) where a husband and wife are a bit late joining in a standing ovation.
