  • If they aired a couple of these old ones, they'd get ALOT of attention. They really catch your eye.

  • That's Joanie Sommers (best known for "Johnny Get Angry" circa; 1962) singing. She was once known as "The Voice of The Sixties."

  • She reminds me of the Stevia singer.

    

  • Oh boy! Watered down Coca-cola!

  • NO ICE!!?

  • I love that thats how we really looked and acted back then. Lets go back to the 60's for a time.... please~

  • @Hyukluv3 hellz yes

  • I LOVE HOW JAZZY THIS IS!!!! :DDDD

  • This must have been before they invented ice. LOL

    Now I want an ice cold Pepsi,in a 16oz glass bottle.What ever happened to the good things in life ?

  • "Think Young" Pepsi please! :) The drink that is young.. if you are old, you can't drink it!

  • pepsi is better than coke

  • With paper straws that you could tear off at one end and blow the wrapper at your buddie's head!

  • I think that was Joanie Sommers singing in background......she did a few Pepsi commercials during this time period. This was probably circa mid-'60s.

  • i loved pepsi until they used high fructose corn syrup.

  • is Dieabities for people who think young to?

  • The melody is from the pop song "Makin' Whoopee" (1928). "Making' woopee" was an old euphemism for sexual intercourse.

  • love the fact that they still haven't stopped selling Pepsi Throwback in my part of town...

  • man the voice over actor must have done every ad from the 40's to the 70's

  • this is just like LA noire, or Mafia 2

  • Comment removed

  • Perfect Ad for the throwback version. I can't get enough of that stuff

  • hmm... So the crazy cult of youth goes back at least thisn far...

  • i think these kinds of commercials are way better than now

  • @MichaelJackson7852 The American Public don't like jingles nor things like this that are clean. It's been proven that these type of ads don't work anymore because of the culture change in America.

  • @CentristFiasco

    it was his opinion. not America's

  • @pass673 I'm talking about the studies that have been done in the past two decades.

  • @CentristFiasco but it was his opinion, not the studies

  • You're not sitting on the backporch drinking something that's be around for years, COCA-COLA, with your grandparents !

  • Who drank more COLA than teenagers? But Pepsi had to take the teens who were drinking Coke, "everything went better with it", away from them. The physiological tricks that commercials play to make us run to do and/or buy stuff is so interesting to me. If you're thinking 'YOUNG" YOU are with it and FUN and YOU are a PEPSI drinker !

  • good music.

  • That's interesting in that they positioned Pepsi as a "young person's drink" even back then!

    Hmmmm...interesting.

  • I love A&W Root Beer...

  • PEOPLE WHO THINK YOUNG LIKE PEPSI, SO GET SOME PEPSI AND DRINK THAT AND YOU WILL BE A YOUNG-THINKING PERSON TOO AND THEY WILL ALL LIKE YOU.

  • i just came here to say fuck pepsi , long live coca cola !

  • Pepsi!! For Those Who Don't Think High Fructose Corn Syrup and Diabetes complications!!!

  • My GF drank six 16 oz bottles each and every day.

  • fuck coke

  • The difference you see in late-50s and early-60s pop culture, such as this Pepsi ad, is that optimism was the general outlook, even if the ads were a little unrealistic. Wages were on the rise, unemployment was relatively low and the vast majority of us were prospering, compared to the generations previous. We really felt like the future was ours! All it took was the realities of the Vietnam War, the energy crises of the 70s and falling real prosperity of the 80s and 90s to snap us out of that.

  • What was that powder he poured into her drink while she was talking to the other couple?

  • i love bioshock....

  • black`n white

  • Small cups!

  • 60's=elegance 

  • white ppl love their soda

  • Sweet voice on that singer.

  • Wow.. a REAL commercial with REAL people enjoying a REAL drink..glad to have been able to see this old 1950s commercial ..Thank You

  • @Miztress2Metal But... my coke! :(

  • Ha! Classic!

  • @mrorville1

    With all due respect, it just seems to me that ideas like "In the 1950s were the days of morality. People were less corrupt and when people had troubles they kept to themselves" are based more on myth, speculation and romanticization. Were the days of legalized segregation really the "days of morality"? In what ways were people more moral? You don't have to answer if you don't want to but I would like to know.

  • imma have a pepsi now

  • Imma have a pepsi now

  • @mrorville1

    No it's actually kind of annoying when people make bold claims and then don't explain them. I asked very simple questions that petain exactly to your claims. When were the days of morality and which morality was it.

  • @mrorville1

    When were the days of morality? And which morality was it?

  • @mrorville1

    Only because your ideas aren't thought out.

  • @mrorville1

    No my friend I think what you need are grammar and spelling lessons.

  • i hate ice in soda. especially the little crushed ice. make me feel like im having a pepsi icee.

  • That's Joanie Sommers singing this commercial. They called her voice the "voice of the 60's." 

  • Brittany Spears stole from this commercial acting all cutesy like ,ain't I clever ?

  • this makes me want to go to an old drive in diner.

  • @mrorville1

    Certainly not mine. I think you mean your own.

  • didn't britney spears do a commercial like this back in 02

  • Hey, Pontius is right. Look at the sad state of affairs in everything today - country, economy, families, people's lives - and tell me that you wouldn't trade it all to go back to a "normal" society with boundaries and morals. Yes, the kind of morals that once we started abandoning them it got us to the state we are in today. It took hundreds of years to get it right, and only a couple of decades of "do your own thing man" to screw it up. Do you still enjoy it now?

  • @mrorville1

    Who's morality? Yours?

  • young drink pepsi.... now those youngsters in the video are in their 70's...

  • Haha segregation why would you even suggest that's what he meant?

  • @mrorville1

    Which society do you think was moral and when do you think it was moral?

  • @MrPontiusPilate in the 50's a burger king worker made enough money to afford a living, there were people back then who raised families with daddy working in jobs that today no one would touch because they pay is trash!!!

    life was simpler and better.... not as many fat people around, no political correct patrol poisoning people at every move.... neighbors connected because people went out to connect, since there were no computers around.

  • @TheYaom my dad said burger king way back in those days were better because u got a bigger sized burger for your money.

  • @mrorville1

    Do you mean back when segregation was legal?

  • Back when pepsi had sugar in it and not high fructose corn syrup.

  • @lordtalon69 yeah i bet it tasted better back then

  • @lordtalon69 Thats why I like drinking Pepsi Throwback :D

  • @lordtalon69 Throwback FTW!

  • Interesting how Pepsi was one of the first beverages to specifically target the youth market, this was followed by "the Pepsi Generation" advertising slogan. Back then, Pepsi did not saturate the market like Coke did and was not as well known, especially world wide.

  • Notice how the drink was dispensed on this circa 1960s soda machine: it was alot more sanitary to dispense the beverage this way, pulling a handle down rather today's method of dispensing soda, if the user has taken a few sips you risk cross contamination for the next person presses their cup against the trigger -you know people like to cap off their soda after they have taken a few sips. Also it's more prone to spilling down the side of the cup.

  • Drink Pepsi kids, dentists need the income.

  • The singer of the jingle was Joannie Sommers. Yes, I'm THAT old!

  • @wetinsf She was a good singer. lol And wasn't the melody taken from the old song "Makin' Whoopee?"

  • @jaytlr9 Yep, that's the melody!

  • pepsi please... jajajajaja.... me encanta pepsi... es un poco más rica que cocacola...

  • Comment removed

  • @misipi6guns451 And it started going to hell right around "back then", when everyone was so preoccupied with what "looked normal" that they ignored the corporations usurping our government and dumbing down hundreds of millions of Americans. I'll take an educated population with pink afros over Pepsi-swilling idiots wearing crewcuts and flips any day. And I have a crewcut--before you start slinging the mud.

  • @nauort23 I totally agree with you .... just like the toxic and poisonus flouride they put in tap water back then ; we've been lied to for over 60 years . I'm not gonna sling mud . I was just reflecting on how normal things used to be as compared to now is all .

  • @nauort23 Look up the " 1958 speech of Robert Welch " to go along with what you've said .

  • @misipi6guns451

    Are you saying you would rather be "normal" ?

    :/

  • @Harleyquinn191 Surely , you jest .... LOL ...

  • @misipi6guns451

    *shrugs*

  • @misipi6guns451 hell yeah, I agree!

  • @misipi6guns451 What do you got against people with colored hair? Jew.

  • Comment removed

  • @GeorgiaMuth Yeah, they could be public housing dwellers who have never known the word "employment."

  • Comment removed

  • @misipi6guns451

    I agree with you 100% but you forgot a few things. people then didn't speak the language with every other word being some vulgar experlative. People had manners and respect for each other. People helped their neighbors in time of need. Schools actually taught students. A man could be trusted and could get credit merely based on his word and a handshake.

  • @Checkerholic Thanks for finishing up what I meant to go on with , but did'nt want to make a page of it .... good post .... and you did'nt see 7 different languages on the instructions on any item box and usually only heard one language AKA english , and did'nt have to press 1 for English on the phone .... we could go on & on , HUH ....

  • @misipi6guns451

    Yeah, I agree with the language thing. This is the USA...we speak english! As you said , we could go on & on

  • @Checkerholic a man couldnt get credit just by a handshake.Have you done any research on the great depression?thats how it started.people were not paying back thier loans.

  • @ANDREW17201

    As a matter of fact I have done research on the depression. In an abstract way your right because massive debt, public and private was one of a number of contributing factors. In large it was due to the sudden drop in stock values.

    Thats all I will say about the subject because this video is not about Depression.

  • @Checkerholic Do you really think it was because of stock values. People were using credit and were not paying back thier loans. But, the major was that the money was being used from random peoples bank accounts. So, when the money wasnt payed back, the random persons bank accout was destroyed.It went into major debt and WW2 actually pulled America out of the depression because countries were paying us money to make weapons for them.

  • @misipi6guns451

    also no colored inside the bus

  • @misipi6guns451 and cars were tha best no plastic bumpers

  • @misipi6guns451 glad you think that being different is so bad

  • @misipi6guns451 You must be some crazy conservative. Lord forbid if anyone does something different!

  • @misipi6guns451 agreed except about the cars were huge compared to todays cadillacs were 12 feet long nothing was made of plastic the car weighed about as much as an SUV

  • @misipi6guns451 that is the most true thing i have every herd

  • @misipi6guns451 you realize this is the future right? deal with it little bitch

  • @Danooo798 that was uncalled for...are you trying to start something

  • @ANDREW17201 nope the comment just was annoying

  • @misipi6guns451 I agree with you 100%. Todays day in age is just plain CRAZY. There are all these weird peole who are doing things that just aren't right. There is WAY too much technology, it's like the whole country just wants to forget about paper and pencil. And the movies and music were a lot better back then too! That's why I wish I was born in the 1950s!

  • @1americanidol11 Nostalgia is great and I love the fifties and sixties too but lets not romanticize it to the point where we forget that there were a lot of issues in America at the time regarding segregation and how minorities were treated. The fact that we can go on YT and watch all this nostalgic footage and not find one non-white in a featured role is indicative as to how backwards society was at that time. Lot of great stuff about this era but a lot wrong with it as well.

  • @jldraw Well, yes that's true too. But once you think about it, there is always something going on. I know segregation was big at this time, and that was bad, but today it is fixed. But back then we could trust people for the most part, we didn't need cell phones or need to worry that kids are going to be taken, yet today that's a problem. So both the 60s and today had differant faults to it. In some ways the 60s were bad, and in other's, today's generation is.

  • @1americanidol11 Which is pretty much the point I was trying to make. There is no such thing as utopia. We tend to frequently romanticize the past but there were issues facing the world then just as there are now. As far as the treatment of minorities and bigotry/racism go, we've made some advances but I'll never we've eliminated those issues entirely. In many ways we've closeted bigotry and racism not eliminated it.

  • @jldraw Yeah I think no matter what people will never be equal. There's always going to be a handful of jerks out there who don't care about people or the earth. Most people would love world peace and if everyone was equal but no matter what time period there will always be some type of discrimination. I'm just saying, if I had to pick what time period to be born in, i'd choose the 50s.

  • @misipi6guns451 Too bad there was soo much racism back then. Other than that yeah your right.

  • i remember, as a child in the 60's, always having ice in my drinks. it wasn't the amount put in drinks today, but there were no free refills then. i remember those cups, which were pretty flimsy and smaller portions. sometimes we were given paper straws, which i could never understand. they just disintegrated. also, i remember complaining we couldn't buy a bottle of water. people usually responded: just drink it from the fountain or no one would buy a bottle of water. hmmm.

  • These "young" people are obviously in their 20's. :P

  • That was a lovely Don Draper moment!

  • its making whoopie!! the tune!

  • this commercial lies coke has ALWAYS had better sales than pepsi

  • I like Coke better... :D

  • Lovely lies.

  • wheres the ice? o_o

  • In a weird way, life in the 60's seems younger and more bright than today.

  • @zimshowfan

    Cept for the black people...

  • i wish i was young in the 60s with all my friends i have now -____-

    I hate my time right now

  • Isnt It Now "Have A Coke" I Hate Coke , Pepsi Is Wayyyyyy Better

  • Dig those tiny cups. I remember those. Now we have 94-ounce watered-down giant gulps being slurped on by slobs in motorized chairs at Wal Mart.

  • The tune this was based on was a song called Makin' Whoopie, an old standard

  • Coke all the way!

  • sounds like Vicki Carr singing...

  • Today Pepsi is crap compared to the original. Like anything else.

  • no ice?

  • @mojokiss You'd be surprised how cold it is when it comes out of the fountain like that.

  • She's hot!

  • I want some Pepsi now...

  • if you people hate today so much,just kill your self.we dont want to listen to say that the old times were better

  • @frostycolt THE OLD TIMES WERE BETTER

  • i always loved pepsi !!!

  • My favorite soda of all time! I loved Pepsi as a kid and I love Pepsi now!

  • Have you noticed? The Pepsi? (Not too much) Did you notice the girls? They looked like real women! Put me in a time machine!

  • Nice Commercial; Nice time in our lives. America really had class, then. Now with our "liberal" universitarians, the anything goes mentality, ruined this world.

    PS: who is the lovely Singer who sang this tune?

  • They didn't screw you with ice back then.

  • @tennespeedy I HATE ice in my drink! I like my drinks cold and chilled, but not with ICE. I like the taste of my beverage and do NOT want to lose it because I want to cool it quickly!

  • Comment removed

  • @Jonny1341 anytime your young is a great time and if you are in love,

    then it's the best time.

  • @Jonny1341 Anytime is a good time to be young, that's the joy of youth. The shackle of age is thinking people have it worse than you did because they were born later.

  • Well, the studies I've seen show no difference for weight gain between sugar and corn syrup, lack of activity is the problem, just burn off what you eat.

  • why does this bitch need a straw???

  • @porkiboi1 To subtly, yet erotically, arouse you, silly.

  • @porkiboi1 Because she "sucks"?

  • I was a kid in the 60's. Coke had the better flavor, Pepsi had the better commercials.

  • almost looks like older guys trying to pick up highschool girls...think young indeed!

  • Dang it! Now I want a pepsi...and I hate pepsi

  • Back then real sugar was used.

  • @backwoodsmods Like you! Portions are larger and people are larger, I mean, fatter. Back then it was a special event if the kids got fast food and soda to drink. Now, I teach kids who have Red Bull for breakfast.

  • It's amazing, back then, I'd ask if they had coke. These days I still do.

  • I wish life was still like this! lol

  • @AmericanPowerBase Well, that's a bit...well...extreme. One thing I strongly dislike, is that as African American's, we're stereotyped and judged as ONE. When just like all other races, we come in all shapes and forms. None of the family members I know gang bang or anything of that nature. Also, best believe black folks back then were also using the N word, I know this because I have older relatives who use it. And it's not new to their vocabulary. My og comment was a joke, nothing serious.

  • Yes I guess those habits stuck cuz at 50 I am 6 feet and 165 pounds and I ride my bike and stay active daily. I live near a High School and can't believe how fat these teens today are.

  • man all the women back then were so beautiful, and skinny we need to have the portions they had i mean Jesus we super sizes and extra extra large its getting BAD i mean i went to panda express one day and i ordered a small soft drink THE CUP WAS HUGE i asked the lady if it was a medium or large she said no its a small i was like :O

  • The blond is so beautiful

  • Pepsi is my favorite drink! Thanks for uploading this!!! :D

  • I HATE PEPSI ! 

  • Well, I was a kid back then and people were thinner. I live near a High School and 75% of the kids today are fat. A large soda then was 8 or 12 oz not the 48 oz cup size now!

  • I like how those cups were about the size of a can of soda. A SMALL size cup nowadays is fucking 24 ounces at some places.

  • Pepsi started in 1898!

    ... instead of making crapy ads, today, they should make a "Since 1898" ad.

  • Where's the ice?

  • Ya google these people now...you'll see the before and after pictures.

    If someone has a weak heart don't watch hehe

  • Mr. Wee Wee sez "yOu gO girl" and stand FIRM behind Barack!

    PUH-LEEZE 'LIKE' Mr. Wee Wee on Facebook tOday!

  • The tune is from (Makin')Whoopee. Remember when Gloria sang that song on All in the Family to Mike?

  • i wonder what it tasted like....

  • This ad campaign was similar to the Michael Jackson ones in the 80s. It talks about young people. The pepsi ads from the 80s talked about the "choice of a new generation."

  • This stuff makes me wanna throw up yuuk

  • this is brain washing. i'm going to drink pesi, because it will make me young

  • Notice how ice wasn't used. I remember having to ask for ice. Now you have to ask fir the soda.
