Hilarious that inside this 1999 video, there’s even a glimpse into literal clown world 🤡
At least they got something right. That the future is orange…

The flip phones and Beep sounds at all touchscreens really dated this hard, but my fave part is that this was sponsored by a Bank!
Oh the irony...

Glad you too enjoyed the nostalgia. Bring back the razer flip phones!
Orange is technically still a telecoms company, but yes they dabble with finance. As do all underwhelming companies these days:
Taken from Wikip:
- Orange has been the company's main brand for mobile, landline, internet and Internet Protocol television (IPTV) services since 2006.
- The Orange brand originated in the United Kingdom in 1994 after Hutchison Whampoa acquired a controlling stake in Microtel Communications: that company became a subsidiary of Mannesmann in 1999 and then was acquired by France Télécom in 2000.
- The France Télécom company was rebranded to Orange on 1 July 2013.
- It has 266 million customers worldwide and employs 89,000 people in France, and 59,000 elsewhere.
