Commercials?

A friend of mine asked me has Prince ever been in a commercial or advertised anything? I cockily answered Nooo, he wouldn't do something like that. However, i need clarifying from all of you know it alls. I was also wondering whether he's done any lucrative sponserships for his tours?

I can't imagine that he has but then again MJ had a major deal with Pepsi in the 80's and 90's and also did commercials for them.

Any answers would be appreciated.

I don't think Prince was actually IN that commercial.. They
used his song. They used his song in a target commercial too
Does any one remember the "PRINCE SPAGHETTI" commercial?
He was really pissed about that. I remember a HUGE
battle over that.. too funny. lol

If I'm remembering correctly, they showed a clip of his video for "Little Red Corvette" in that commercial, so technically he was in it.

It was actually a clip from the Sign O' Times film of P doing LRC on the piano.
