**NEW YORK, NY** – Thirty-five years after its release, the iconic “When Harry Met Sally…” scene at Katz’s Delicatessen has been revisited in a new Super Bowl commercial for Hellmann’s mayonnaise. Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal, reprising their roles as Sally and Harry, recreated the famous fake orgasm scene, albeit with a comedic twist involving the condiment.

The commercial opens with Harry and Sally back at Katz’s, referencing their legendary encounter. The ad then shows Sally initially dissatisfied with her sandwich, prompting her to add Hellmann’s mayonnaise, which leads to a spirited re-enactment of the iconic scene. Actress Sydney Sweeney makes a cameo, delivering the famous line, “I’ll have what she’s having.”

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Crystal described the reunion as feeling “the same” as filming the original scene. Ryan recalled the original shoot as nerve-wracking, but praised director Rob Reiner’s guidance. Both actors were highly complimentary of Sweeney’s performance, calling it “adorable” and a “big honor.”

Crystal and Ryan also reflected on the scene’s enduring popularity, attributing it to its groundbreaking portrayal of female sexuality and its well-constructed script by the late Nora Ephron. Ryan noted the scene’s clever juxtaposition of Sally’s physical humor with Harry’s verbal reactions. They both highlighted the scene’s subtle message, with Sally teaching Harry a lesson while unafraid of public display.

The commercial also subtly references Sally’s detailed ordering style, a detail Ryan admitted she learned from the role and attributes to Ephron’s writing. The reunion marks the first time the duo has collaborated on a project referencing the film since its release, making this Super Bowl ad a truly nostalgic and memorable event for fans.
