[gademocrat7]

1. Great commercial!

[DinahMoeHum]

2. Coca Cola has just given Budweiser a run for the money

for best Super Bowl commercial.

[angstlessk]

3. Coka cola...not coke

[bettyellen]

35. Coca, not Coka....

[pkdu]

4. Pepsi - the new official Cola of the Whitehouse : bet money on it.

It was indeed a great commercial.

[pinboy3niner]

13. Sorry, Mr. President. No Pepsi...Coke

[brucefan]

31. Love Billy Goats!

[retrowire]

19. But Pepsi was originally marketed as the cola for black people.

Meh, they'll white wash that history too.

[TimeToGo]

25. Is that true?

I've never heard that. Not arguing against it, but what's the source?

[retrowire]

26. I'm an enthusiast of soda.

Meet Edward Boyd.

From the article:

Avoiding Aunt Jemima images, he commissioned ads showing African-Americans as fun-loving middle-class consumers living the American dream. In one ad the small boy shown shopping for Pepsi with his mother was Ron Brown, who would become secretary of commerce.

He also used pictures of distinguished blacks like Ralph Bunche, the diplomat, and of high-achieving students.

Mr. Boyd hired some of the first black advertising models, flooded black papers with ads and added new sophistication and prominence to the ads already being published in magazines like Ebony. He created the first point-of-purchase displays aimed at minorities.

And in portraying black americans as ordinary middle class citizens for Pepsi, I think he did a good thing.

[TimeToGo]

32. Well.. .

Pepsi stated in the 1800s. That was what I thought you meant by originally -- not post world war 2. Still, a good story, though.

[retrowire]

33. This is true. nt

[MADem]

44. PEPSI sponsored Lady "BORN THIS WAY" Gaga's show.

Hey, Hitler invented FANTA when he couldn't get coke or Pepsi... of course, much later, Coca-Cola acquired it~!


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanta

Maybe he'll go to Royal Crown Cola, or the WAL-Mart house brand!!

[ThoughtCriminal]

52. Okay, maybe RC Cola?

[ismnotwasm]

5. That's awesome

[BigBoss]

6. Yup

I was about to post the same thing lol. I'm timing until outrage hits.

[Ace Rothstein]

7. Isn't this one an old commercial?

Could swear there was a previous outrage about this one by the deplorable set.

[Lisa0825]

11. It was familiar to me too. I am glad they brought it back :-)

[NastyRiffraff]

43. Originally broadcast in 2014.

I'm glad they rebroadcast. I loved it then and I love it even more now.

[JPPaverage]

9. Darn. You beat me to it.

It was a neat commercial. And you're correct, rw heads are likely exploding right about now. Heheh.

[dalton99a]

10. Yeah, they're already running their mouths

[mcar]

12. I said the same thing to SO

[Iggo]

14. I saw that. I laughed so hard.

[In_The_Wind]

15. Awesome commercial !!!

37. video link says private, can't view it

[In_The_Wind]

39. I replaced the private video. Take another look.

[Johnny2X2X]

16. Troll job on Trump

Almost every commercial so far has had a multicultural theme. Mexican Avacados and now Arnold. LOL

[retrowire]

17. Yay! That's awesome. nt

[GliderGuider]

18. Wonderful!!!!!

[Blue Owl]

20. Trump: "Sniff..."

n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Get enough companies to praise immigrants & diversity and the RW nutters will die of thirst & hunger

They can't get caffeine from Starbucks or Coca Cola.

They are starting to feel very constrained, a straitjacket of their own making by multiple overlapping boycotts.

Good practice for when they get taken away and put in a padded room. Starting with the Nutter-in-Chief, we can hope.

[mnhtnbb]

42. They can buy bottled water from Nestle because their water source is contaminated

from fracking.

Fu*k the right wing jerks. Dumb fu*ks. Real dumb fu*ks.

[Wounded Bear]

22. Too many non-whites...

er, I mean non-Amerikkans.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Drop your empty Coke / Budweiser cans & Starbucks cups at Republicon / tRump offices and locations.

[demtenjeep]

24. haha

good idea

[3catwoman3]

36. Oooh, what a clever...

...idea.

[nycbos]

27. Amazing ad.

They have used the last few Super Sundays. And the reaction is always the same from the same people

[snacker]

28. That was a great ad!

[retrowire]

29. reading the reactions on Coke's fb page

Range from: "America the Beautiful should be sung in ENGLISH!" and "What a blatant dig at President Trump, I'll be taking my business elsewhere."

Their brains don't understand that... America is for everyone and, the commercial never mentioned Trump. The snowflakes.

46. Conservatives never complained when Dubya sang the National Anthem in Spanish.

30. That premiered last year

34. Most Gump supporters are missing teeth by the handful.

They shouldn't be drinking sugar-laden soft drinks anyway.

[paleotn]

38. More for me!

Coke fiend here. Southeast born and bred, so it's Coke or nothing at all. Then again, we have a habit of calling any soft drink "coke".

[TlalocW]

40. I remember this commercial. You know what's so great about it?

When it came out, conservatives were so blinded by their hatred of people singing the song in other languages and daring to be browner than they are, that they totally missed that a married gay couple and their daughter were in it... Seriously, it took them a day or two to realize it. I had to point it out to several conservative friends on Facebook.

[mnhtnbb]

41. I know! Told my husband (who hates commercials and turns the sound off)

about it while I was in the kitchen waiting for the oven to warm up for the pizza. Multiple languages, multiple colors
of Americans. Bet Trump had a fit if he was watching it.

[MADem]

45. No Coke (because of foreigners), no PEPSI, (because of Born This Way GAGA),

no BUDWEISER, (because immigration is viewed by them as positive), no STARBUCKS....

They can't drink anything but tomato juice....and those tomatoes are picked by ..... MEXICANS!!!!!!

[nikibatts]

47. Amazing how they want to boycott Bud and Corona is No.1. Isn't Corona a Mexican beer?

I don't drink beer but i remember my nephew telling me that Corona was a Mexican beer.

[niyad]

48. "I'd like to teach the world to sing" (1971--jeez, I am OLD!!!)

[niyad]

49. first aired superbowl 2014

[niyad]

50. and losing their minds over the "hamilton" stars adding the word "sisterhood"

[underthematrix]

51. The Coke ad was my favorite
