The commercial was already circulating on television and social media, and surprised audiences with its careful production and the choice of Mirtha as the star. At 98 years old, the host not only excelled on camera in an embroidered red evening gown and matching earrings, but she could also achieve a Guinness record as the oldest personality to star in a multimillion-dollar advertisement.

The sequence took place in Mar del Plata, in front of the traditional Costa Galana. There, Mirtha had a brief conversation with her driver: "The night is very beautiful, let's take another lap before dropping me off at the hotel."

The driver, while driving, suggested refueling. La Chiqui, with her sharp memory and a touch of humor, replied: "Keep going, dear, I'll guide you to Shell."

Details of the commercial

Once at the service station, an attendant was surprised to see that it was Mirtha in the car. Without hesitation, he offered her premium gasoline. She accepted and added a modern touch by announcing she would pay with the Shell Box app, showing her phone in her hand.

Before leaving, the host said goodbye to the employee with her unmistakable signature: "Bye, dear, sending you a little kiss."

The commercial ended with a play on words aimed at capturing customers: "La Chiqui. La Shell. La de todos."

Mirtha Legrand, with nearly a century of life and a career that shaped Argentine television, once again demonstrated that her image remains as relevant and sought after by brands as ever.
