Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal recreate iconic scene from When Harry Met Sally in Super Bowl ad

Advertisers have a way of tugging at our heartstrings with nostalgic commercials during the Super Bowl. Last year, we were treated to a “Friends” reunion that filled us with warm memories. This year, they’re bringing back the beloved romantic comedy “When Harry Met Sally,” and we couldn’t be more excited.
The latest commercial from Hellmann’s features Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal reprising their iconic roles from the 1989 film. The scene at Katz’s Deli, where Sally demonstrates how easily women can fake an orgasm, is recreated with a mayonnaise twist. As Ryan adds mayo to her sandwich and starts moaning in delight, Crystal can’t help but smile and declare, “This one’s real.” The famous line, “I’ll have what she’s having,” is delivered once again by a fellow diner.
The enduring appeal of “When Harry Met Sally” lies in its timeless humor and relatable insights into relationships. Written by Nora Ephron and directed by Rob Reiner, the film has earned its place as one of the greatest rom-coms of all time. The resurgence of 90s nostalgia, with fashion trends like cable-knit sweaters and cultural references like Lisa Frank collaborations, has only added to the film’s allure.
In fact, Billy Crystal’s signature cable-knit sweater from the movie has become a fashion statement in its own right, with fans eager to replicate Harry’s cozy look. Katz’s Delicatessen, a New York City institution made famous by the film, is even offering a “What She’s Having” turkey sandwich package for fans to enjoy at home.
As fans reminisce about the classic scenes and memorable quotes from “When Harry Met Sally,” it’s clear that the film continues to hold a special place in our hearts. Whether it’s the quirky characters, witty dialogue, or timeless themes of love and friendship, there’s something about this romantic comedy that resonates with audiences of all ages.
So as we settle in to watch the Super Bowl commercials this year, let’s raise a toast to the enduring magic of “When Harry Met Sally” and the joy it brings to our nostalgic hearts.
