If you are missing the iconic show "Friends", you might be in for a wonderful surprise during the Super Bowl. The surprise would not take place during the games though, it would come in during the commercials. Former friends co-stars David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston are reuniting to star in a Super Bowl commercial for Uber Eats. The multi-star commercial with the Friends duo also has Victoria and David Beckham, Usher and Jelly Roll. A commercial so nostalgic ironically has a theme of forgetfulness. Portrayed well enough to tickle people's funny bones. Even the reunion all of us have been waiting for starts on a note of forgetfulness.

In the commercial, Aniston keeps forgetting her on-screen love and his role in her life. The fun chemistry between the two isn't forgotten though. The commercial starts with Jennifer Aniston in a studio parking lot thanking an employee for getting her Uber Eats bag for her. The employee tells Aniston that she didn't know that Uber Eats delivers groceries as well. She adds that needs to remember that. Aniston's reply pretty much sums up the essence of the commercial. She says, "Well, you know what they say, in order to remember something, you got to forget something else. Make a little room.” Next, she meets her former Friends co-star David Schwimmer who rushes to greet her with a hug. Aniston is hesitant to return the hug. She surprisingly asks her longtime co-star, "Have we met?" Later in the clip, she also asks Schwimmer to give her a hint to which he replies that they worked with each other for ten years. Recognition still hadn't dawned on the former Friends star and she just pretended to recognise him. As she walks away she mumbles that it is impossible for her to forget ten years of her life while Shwimmers says, "I hate this town."

The commercial also features Jelly Roll, an American singer and rapper who has tattoos all over his face. He wakes up and questions who has doodled all over his face and tries to wash his tattoos off. When they don't come off he panics completely forgetting that he got inked. Victoria and David Beckham also feature in the commercial and hilariously forget Victoria Beckham's iconic group Spice Girl's name. David asks if she remembers when she used to be a "Pepper Lady." Victoria adds to the fun by saying that she thinks it was "Cinnamon Sisters." Other guesses include Basil Babes and Paprika Girls making the theme even more fun. Usher, who is going to be headlining the Super Bowl halftime show this year closes the ad by saying, "I hope I get to play a halftime show someday, man." The tagline of the commercial says, "Whatever you forget, remember Uber Eats gets groceries."

The trailer of the commercial was also equally funny. It stars Victoria and David Beckham who tease that they will be starring in a big commercial. They say that Jessica Aniston will also be a part of it, forgetting the actress's name repeatedly to play on the theme of the commercial. As David Beckham nudges Victoria Beckham to tell people what the commercial was to she replies with an "I am trying." She finally says that it will be aired during the big baseball game. To this, the footballer says that it is a "super big baseball game." Victoria Beckham adds that maybe it was the "Hockey Bowl." Both of them finally agree on that. The commercial will air on Feb 11 during the Kansas City Chiefs' and the San Francisco 49ers' face-off in Super Bowl LVIII, to be aired on CBS at 6:30 p.m. ET.

Will your current friends still be with you after seven years?
Professor shares how many years a friendship must last before it'll become lifelong
Think of your best friend. How long have you known them? Growing up, children make friends and say they’ll be best friends forever. That’s where “BFF” came from, for crying out loud. But is the concept of the lifelong friend real? If so, how many years of friendship will have to bloom before a friendship goes the distance? Well, a Dutch study may have the answer to that last question.
Sociologist Gerald Mollenhorst and his team in the Netherlands did extensive research on friendships and made some interesting findings in his surveys and studies. Mollenhorst found that over half of your friendships will “shed” within seven years. However, the relationships that go past the seven-year mark tend to last. This led to the prevailing theory that most friendships lasting more than seven years would endure throughout a person’s lifetime.
In Mollenhorst’s findings, lifelong friendships seem to come down to one thing: reciprocal effort. The primary reason so many friendships form and fade within seven-year cycles has much to do with a person’s ages and life stages. A lot of people lose touch with elementary and high school friends because so many leave home to attend college. Work friends change when someone gets promoted or finds a better job in a different state. Some friends get married and have children, reducing one-on-one time together, and thus a friendship fades. It’s easy to lose friends, but naturally harder to keep them when you’re no longer in proximity.
Some people on Reddit even wonder if lifelong friendships are actually real or just a romanticized thought nowadays. However, older commenters showed that lifelong friendship is still possible:
“I met my friend on the first day of kindergarten. Maybe not the very first day, but within the first week. We were texting each other stupid memes just yesterday. This year we’ll both celebrate our 58th birthdays.”
“My oldest friend and I met when she was just 5 and I was 9. Next-door neighbors. We're now both over 60 and still talk weekly and visit at least twice a year.”
“I’m 55. I’ve just spent a weekend with friends I met 24 and 32 years ago respectively. I’m also still in touch with my penpal in the States. I was 15 when we started writing to each other.”
“My friends (3 of them) go back to my college days in my 20’s that I still talk to a minimum of once a week. I'm in my early 60s now.”
“We ebb and flow. Sometimes many years will pass as we go through different things and phases. Nobody gets buttsore if we aren’t in touch all the time. In our 50s we don’t try and argue or be petty like we did before. But I love them. I don’t need a weekly lunch to know that. I could make a call right now if I needed something. Same with them.”
Maintaining a friendship for life is never guaranteed, but there are ways, psychotherapists say, that can make a friendship last. It’s not easy, but for a friendship to last, both participants need to make room for patience and place greater weight on their similarities than on the differences that may develop over time. Along with that, it’s helpful to be tolerant of large distances and gaps of time between visits, too. It’s not easy, and it requires both people involved to be equally invested to keep the friendship alive and from becoming stagnant.
As tough as it sounds, it is still possible. You may be a fortunate person who can name several friends you’ve kept for over seven years or over seventy years. But if you’re not, every new friendship you make has the same chance and potential of being lifelong.
