[edit] Trivia

On January 2007, Moshe Datz starred in a commercial for Goldstar beer, where he played a quiet, somewhat heavyhearted man, sitting in a pub, drinking beer. Noticing that it's too late (10:00 pm) he gets up and goes home. As he comes home, the house is empty. He grabs another bottle of beer, crooning a song, and walks down the hall. Next shot shows him opening a door to a jacuzzi room with five young women in bikinis, sitting in a hot tub, singing the same song. The commercial ends with his words: ("Who missed Datz?"), signaling his return to popular culture.
