Lever Brothers' Breeze includes a towel as a premium in its package, and spends much of its precious 60 seconds showing a man flamencoing in the bathroom, snapping the towel about his shoulders and abruptly turning into Jose Greco when the spirit moves him. Presumably his wife is Breezing the dishes, but she never appears...
