This commercial is quite ironic considering Pepsi has changed it's logo more than a few times, while Coke is one of the most easily recognizable brands. Think: we know what it is just based on the shape of the bottle, while the Pepsi the kids are drinking are in cans that are the same for every soda brand out there.
I only ever saw this on Tarrant on TV (a British advert clip show) and remembered it, particularly the shuttlecraft with the Pepsi logo flying over head as the Prof holds up the coke bottle at the end. Giant bitch-slap to Coke. Yes Pepsi fan here. I was so glad when I found it on Youtube.
This ad is one of the best ever made. It is witty, interesting and memorable. It annoys me that it never appears in those "best 100 commercials" programmes made for TV. I would put it as number 1. I only saw it a couple of times over 2 decades ago but still quote it.
Coke is old fashioned, Pepsi is modern. Depending on what you want, stay in the old or stay in the new. That's why I love Pepsi, because it always seemed futuristic to me, while coke was bleh.
In my humble opinion this spot is pro coke and an own goal for pepsi! Coke is something epic - Nothing is more American than coke! Absolutely numero uno! Including best taste!
Agreed - this one was brilliant. I saw it when I was still in high school when it showed as a 'Best of Cannes winners' back in the mid-1980s. And I still remembered it so well after all those years - that's great advertising!
anyone has the link to the one with the aliens doing the same thing ? i cant find it for the life of me

How is this pro-coke? Whether or not coke or pepsi is better is irrelevant. This ad is not pro-coke.

Well, you have to grant pepsi this: at least they can make a decent commercial. But they still can't win me over...
