Thames Adverts 1986 (11)

[@cray1875]

The Coke ad really has that 1980s (late Cold War) vibe about it - the Free World (America the Free more like/Reagan/Thatcher) versus the Evil Empire of the Commies.

This was shot in the UK in 1986! I only know this cos my dad was one of the sparky’s who worked on it!!!!

[@twitchygiraffe4636]

It is bloody awful though isn’t it!!

[@twitchygiraffe4636]

My god that coke ad brings back memories, The soundtrack alone gives me toothache! You’d think it couldn’t get any worse than “I’d like to teach the world to sing” from 1971, but THIS is living proof your wrong!!!!

That is one seriously horrendous Coke ad.

Back when Coke adverts were explicitly terrifying.

If Scotland had voted Yes, we would all be saying that the bloke in a Coca-Cola T-shirt at the Better Together HQ had been asking for it and playing into the Yes campaign's hands ... though as a man of the Left living in non-metropolitan southern England, I'm glad it was a No.

Is that boy at 1:19 from anything else? He looks familiar.
