I don't recall ever using a Maxell floppy, but their cassettes were the best.
Semi random fact, but there's actually a Vaporwave artist that used a number of Japanese Maxell advertisements in a distorted/looped manner for the better part of a whole album....

I found a Maxwell robot video ad but I think it's just actors in robot outfits https://youtu.be/CKloQVH_72M Honda was more impressive then with Asimo which was a real robot https://youtu.be/DerM1GNtg5A
Why is it referred to as a 'bad' floppy ad. I thought it was cool.
The "bad" is referring to the floppies, not the ad. The ad with the robots at dinner was about buying Maxwell floppies (which were considerably more expensive than no-name floppies) because otherwise the machines might "eat your files". A modern equivalent would be buying a SanDisk SD card over cheaper alternatives.
