Madonna starred for the first time in fashion company Versace's campaign of Spring/Summer 1995. She subsequently featured again that year in their Fall/Winter campaign.

Donatella Versace commented that Madonna was "one of the true icons of Versace".

Answer: Polident

On her blog, Florence Henderson denied wearing dentures or using Polident but stated "I am very proud of the fact that I have all my own teeth. However, I do advertise for Polident because other members of my family use the product and love it. I never claim to use the product myself in the commercials!"

Answer: Nike

Michael Jordan was an American professional basketball player (now retired). In 1984, when Jordan was playing for the Chicago Bulls, his ability to leap and slam dunk earned him the nickname "Air Jordan", leading Nike to create the "Air Jordan 1" shoe for him, which he later endorsed.

Answer: Snickers

The Snicker's "You're Not You When You're Hungry" campaign was created for the 2010 Superbowl (American football). The advertisement features Betty White as a football player named Mike, who is accused of "playing like Betty White" (that is, like an old lady) until someone gives him/her a Snickers bar, which transforms him and immediately lifts his game.

The hilarious commercial went viral and gave White's career quite a boost.

Answer: Heineken

Despite the fact that James Bond is known for drinking martinis, "shaken not stirred", Dutch brewery Heineken launched a James Bond-themed advertising campaign featuring Daniel Craig for their beer in 2012, timing it in order to take advantage of the release of the movie "Skyfall".

They repeated the tactic in 2015 just before the release of "Spectre". They defended their depiction of a beer-drinking James Bond, stating that there are numerous references to Bond drinking beer in the original Ian Fleming novels.

Answer: Nespresso

George Clooney has been endorsing Nespresso since 2006. He also serves as a member of the Nespresso Sustainability Advisory Board. Clooney has also appeared in advertisements for Fiat, Martini (a brand of Italian vermouth) and Casamigos Tequila (a company in which he is a part-owner).

Answer: Nicorette

In 1999, Australian cricketer, Shane Warne, was paid $200,000 to endorse and to use Nicorette nicotine patches to help him quit smoking. The agreement was that he was to undergo a cigarette-free period of four months. Unfortunately, a London newspaper published a photograph of him smoking just a few days before the end of that contract. Warne commented that quitting smoking was "a bloody lot harder than I thought".

Answer: Jell-O

America television star and comedian, Bill Cosby, began promoting Jell-O pudding in 1974. He has been a spokesperson for the product for decades, earning him the nickname "Mr Jello". He has also endorsed other products such as White Owl cigars, Coca-Cola, Texas Instruments, and Kodak. Unfortunately, allegations of sexual assault and harassment in 2014 have tarnished his reputation. One of his accusers is model/actress Lisa Christie whom Cosby had cast in a Jell-O commercial. As a result, it is highly unlikely he will ever be chosen for any future product endorsements.
