Yup, it's a terrific ad.  I was floored the first time I saw it.

Now, if it only aired as often as ads for erectile dysfunction do!  ;D

Yes, that's it.  Here is a description of the ad.  I wasn't able to find the video yet.

If it's the teenager at a party and there's pb in the brownies one, that's been around for a few months.  I don't usually watch commercials, but I know I've seen it quite a few times.  I find it to be very powerful because it shows how easily (and very plausibly) accidental reactions can happen.

Holy cr@p.  I cried.  I feel shaken.  I am watching the Olympics, and saw an ad by Mylan.  Very graphically shows a reaction from the point of view of the one experiencing it.  I don't know whether it is new.  For the last few years, I have recorded everything and skipped commercials.  But we don't have DVR at the new house, so I am just starting to see commercials again.

I will see if I can find it online.
