Brooks Brothers has released a holiday commercial featuring cute singing lambs sporting what appear to be cashmere sweaters (luckily cashmere comes from goats so it’s not weird). As the wide-eyed lambs sing possibly the most famous Christmas song in existence, “Jingle Bells,” the viewer is treated to a doozy of a revelation. It turns out that Brooks Brothers is super old. That’s right, the American retail chain has been around longer than JINGLE BELLS, a song most people would assume predates Jesus. Brooks Brothers was founded in 1818, while “Jingle Bells” was written 40 years later in 1857. You feel that? That’s your mind being blown.
