The Fresh Prince of Bel Air Google Trick in Brief
A license plate that reads FRESH sits on the mock page above. Press it, and a taxi rolls past before the whole page spins and lands upside down.
Google ran its own version on September 10, 2020, for the show’s 30th birthday. A search for the series showed the plate, and a click turned the results into a 90s throwback.
Our build keeps the plate, the taxi and the retro look. It then adds the flip as a nod to the opening theme.
