What's great is that the Snopes site states:
The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very
minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again.

While the end of the ad says "Isn't it great when things just work?"

Even my vanagon works more than once every 606 times I try to start it.

The wiper assembly scampering across the floor is great, though. I want one
for a pet.
