I think Levi’s. But they’ll try to change it to a positive statement.
Like: “Ok! Boomer”. And show images from Woodstock and civil rights march stuff from 60s & 70s. To make Boomers feel better about themselves.

Hey! Remember when you thought you were changing the world. Here’s a nostalgic ad to help you forget the current reality. Ok! Boomers!

I got nothing:) I don't have to have something else in order for the above to be good/bad:)
On a slightly serious note, that ok boomer/millennials crap makes me sad and I feel like it's embarrassing for both sides and very ignorant/cruel - I'm a solid. Gen X and I'm perplexed by it. I actually do not think at all that it reflected well on that nz parliament woman as a response to a heckler and it lacked grace from a public service/government figure - it doesn't move the conversation or bridge any difference but further fuels it. I can't imagine Obama responding in this way - the whole going low/high point. But I digress and i know this thread/OP was meant in fun

Even better, who will be the first junior creative to say it to their ECD?

“ok, boomer” is already out. It became outworn and not cool once we olds started realizing it was even a thing.

Those darn kids are on to something else now. I bet we’d know what if we were on TikTok

How about Stouffers does an “ok google” parody where you ask “ok boomer” to get answers about things kids don’t know about these days, like rotary phones, AM/FM radio, tapes and CDs, dial up Internet, drive-in movies, snail mail, smoking on airplanes.... and delicious Stouffers ready to eat meals.
