Classic Commercial for Coca-Cola (1953)

[junglefunckysoul]

I'm Hungry and thirsty now!

[vvolas]

...When they are tired of all day shopping...

Same as when you are tired from all day gaming.

[copsancrooks]

damn i want some sandwiches



[TheRoninkin]

I want coke to be made with actual sugar, I am sick of synthetic chemicals.

[anangrygoldfish]

Nothin' like an' Ice-Cold Nuka-Cola Victory to start the day!

[cottoncandydance]

now they would be playing drake and lil wayne.....:(

[SmackBear2SmckCat]

Looks like a dream, the 50's where strange.

[AbduCola]

Cant believe a hit of cocaine was only like 10 cents back than. They even prepared it in a tasty beverage for you.

[Hiraghm]

@AbduCola - wrong. there was cocaine in coca cola only for a few months after its creation, about 50 years before this commercial was made.

[AbduCola]

@Hiraghm  I was jking dude

[MrSaras123456789]

After Stalin's death coca-cola releases this vid lol. Ironic

[genek64]

Silly commercial but WHO is that incredibly handsome announcer??

[paleblue498]

@genek64 I think his name is Mike Hunt...

[scryerofold]

The coke back then had a kick to it. It was so carbonated it kind of burned. It was great.

[kalaandroid]

Proper blend of carbonated water and cocaine

[Hiraghm]

@kalaandroid - the cocaine was removed very shortly after Coke was created.

[paleblue498]

Yes folks, you can actually feel all that sugary, syrupy goodness rotting your teeth a little more with each glass!!

[Hiraghm]

@paleblue498 - don't worry, it won't be long until Coca cola is demonized out of common usage like tobacco has been. And it will soon be followed by McDonald's, and eventually by everything else we enjoy. Yes, in a generation children will have been brainwashed into actually wanting broccoli cranberry juice instead of those evil hamburgers and soda pops...

[paleblue498]

@Hiraghm Coke (and Pepsi and other high sugar soft drinks) deserve to be demonized. I drank that shit for years as a kid and a teen and ended up with a mouth full of cavities and terrible tooth problems as an adult, and yes, I did brush my teeth but obviously not enough to get all the sugar out. It's well known what a steady diet of coke/pepsi will do to teeth. As for evil hamburgers, maybe one or two a month is okay but again, eat that crap regularly along with fat soaked fries...

[paleblue498]

@paleblue498 cont...and guess what you're going to look like in a very short while? A fat slob with cholesterol soaked arteries and decaying teeth. Very glamourous, no?

[Hiraghm]

@paleblue498 - yup, sounds like me. I made the decisions, I'm living with the results. The results are no excuse to brainwash children into ridiculous paranoia, or for elites to try to control the behavior of free peoples.

[Hiraghm]

@paleblue498 - you have no one to blame but yourself, just as a drunk has no one to blame but himself. I could blame Coke on bad teeth, I've drunk enough. But, the fact is, bad teeth can also be genetic, as in my case.

It's a quality-of-life issue, along with an individual liberty issue. Demonization is no substitute for individuals making their own decisions, and being responsible for the outcome. That's individual liberty.

[1Nekit1]

COCAINE IS A HELL OF A DRINK

[iamJemBoy]

1:18 ...god he looks lonely

[jmack629]

this commercial is as old as my truck

[Blackadder75]

USA in the fifties, the best time and place in history... (well, if you were white and at least middle class of course.........) If you want to know more read: Bill Bryson: The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid

[Spjungen]

@Blackadder75 Not really...far as I knew the civil rights movement took place in the 60's. And yes it was a very white America, but at least it hadn't yet been destroyed by affirmative action, ridiculouslly over-extensive political correctness, and hip hop.

[Blackadder75]

@Spjungen I can't figure out what part of my earlier post you (dis)agree with....

[RossIsSoHot]

look how small there cups are...wen the world wasnt full of faties who want a fkin extra large pop...jeez!

[sgtmjames]

damn i could go for a coke right now.

[PoisonSapphire]

I'm watching these old 50's commercials and all they remind me is Fallout 3 for some reason :D

[iszalgocomin]

@PoisonSapphire Fallout 3 should remind you of these IMO

[GrainghisKhan12]

@PoisonSapphire Isn't Fall Out 3 set in the 1940's?

[denis505]

@GrainghisKhan12 actually, Fallout 3 is set in the 2270's.

[GrainghisKhan12]

@denis505 point withdrawn.

[hawkeymaniac92]

@PoisonSapphire That's why I'm watching them lol. And because I REALLY wish it could be the 50's again...our generation doesn't give a shit about anything anymore..cept weed and sex. I wish the problems were decided what TV show to watch..like the 50's.

[SmackBear2SmckCat]

@PoisonSapphire I came here because of Fallout 3.

[AGhostlyCalm]

@PoisonSapphire I thought the same damn thing. Now I gotta play.

[JHoward393]

Ah back when the used to put cocaine in cokes... No wonder why i never liked them. XD

[u000drl]

i'm telling you, trust me-those 1953 cokes tasted better than it does today.

[InfiniteMushroom]

@u000drl The old Coca Cola formula is still being manufactured in Mexico IN THE COCA-COLA GLASS BOTTLES. I know because I bought a case when Home Depot was selling it here in Florida last summer. Should've bought two cases when I had the chance.

Read the ingredients. REAL SUGAR, not high fructose corn syrup. Mexi-Coke uses the better ingredients that aren't used in American Cokes. I remember the OLD Coke too and Mexico still makes it!

[InfiniteMushroom]

@u000drl The old formula (with real sugar and the real ingredients) is still available down in Mexico. In full sized glass bottles. Yes, you CAN taste the difference!

[ilovethebroadway]

They should bring this back for the coca cola commercials. The older generation will actually go back to drinking them. :)

[InfiniteMushroom]

@ilovethebroadway Even the older generation is too jaded to respond to the old Coca Cola commercials that once played to the Old Republic. The anti-white propaganda now is just too intense.

[TheGroundedAviator]

Ha! Women I know hove enough foe several wardroabs!

[valdis016]

i would buy coke if commercials were like this again

[EddiCharlei]

I wish I was born back then. People my age are so rude. They have no idea what "appropriate" is.

I love this.

[cupcake547331]

@EddiCharlei people in all ages are rude u can't escape them u just have to ignore them

[darklight151]

It was way back when , when real cocaine was in coke.. now that's the real thing and not a classic.

[TheGroundedAviator]

@darklight151 They stopped using cocaine (other then trace amounts) in 1903-04.

[Lanceisabeach]

Well, as long as there is Lots of Rum in it, Yummy!

[markchanson]

Who wouldnt love Coke back then. They literally put cocaine in it back then. True story.

[bastardson73]

@markchanson i think heroin (or some opioids) too originally

[Virgofenix]

Woman jokes. Awesome.

[janeblow80]

Dear coca cola...Please remake your old recipe. I would have LOVED to see how that tasted.

[MarvinUQ]

@janeblow80 Impossible old recipes of EVERYTHING had no poison on them.

[Nistarok9]

Oh god gotta find Sweetdove's comment!

[nick624179]

they're acting so awkward, lol

[songcovers]

so very very tame

[danosly]

i'd walk past a hundred coke machines for a pepsi anyday

[ipadize]

"cock a cola" LoL

[shaggyfuldead]

I am 35 and i love these commercials. They make you fell warm inside and focuses on the product. People knew how to make comm back they, just like the tv shows from 50 to 60s. so glad they still show them today. Beets most of show nowdays are not about family values. Wish I could go back in time, but my mom and dad were just a baby at this time.

[necelticsox]

hmm, 59 year-old coke...my grandpa has one from the 30s and its still full

[SakaPC1]

I gotta admit I want a coke after watching this!

[myjanuary151987]

What a lovely commercial. How charming I would say, but it's such an old-fashion phrase. I love old English commercials or different reviews, because they are easily to understand for a foreigner. What a distinct and clear pronunciation, no mumbling, no murmuring, friendly voices only. Have a look at nowadays: everything is about sex, boobs, stupid jokes. I can't go on... Desole.

[fsxaviator]

Now this is class... Today's commercials are funny and all but i really wish they still made some classic, cool commercials like this...

[chromesphere]

I wish today's pop culture had flavor like this, and wasn't so generic. Every time I hear an over played pop song on the radio, it makes me hate my generation just that much more haha...

[shaggyfuldead]

@chromesphere i agree this generation is nothing but disposable. It is to fast passed and know one stops to look around. Music nowdays is not music and it keeps getting worse. Nobody sings about the times anymore like they did in the 50 and 60s when it had meaning.

[InfiniteMushroom]

@chromesphere It's taken decades to rot into our current condition. It's also commendable that you perceive that things are grossly wrong, even though you never saw the slow death of America over your lifetime.

America has been dead for a decade and in a coma before that. Financial formaldehyde kept up appearances for a time but, now the rot is beyond such masking. Little ditties like this Coke ad played to a nation that we'll never see again because we're brainwashed to hate it.

[SuperSonicsrb2]

i prefer Nuka Cola

[mikethekhotmailcom]

The announcer was right. Everybody likes "...bright tang"

[TheIDivineI]

I really wish I was alive in these times. They look incredible.

[Beatlejoose56]

I had an old fashioned Coke in 1961

[justinlego001]

Hey! I just had an old fashioned coke yesterday!

[Hyvelez]

I think the commercials worked. Now I want Coca Cola!

[Nefus1988]

And here I am sitting with six 250mm glass bottles of Coca Cola and watching these commercials.

[classictv12]

Ah the times when soft drinks were a treat. Seems that they have replaced water these days. Thanks for posting.

[pasciente]

COKE IS A POISON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skygh]

@pasciente Tsssk. It's hard to walk anywhere these days without stepping over a body slain by drinking Coca~Cola and hardly anyone lives past thirty anymore. When will we learn? When?

[onecreativecriminal]

man, I wish I lived in the 50's...everything seems so innocent and simple

[pangavon]

@onecreativecriminal

People in 2310 will be saying the same thing about the 2050's.

[shelton705]

@onecreativecriminal

If you were to scratch the surface, you would find that wasn't the case. The difference is that television lacked cynicism and reality back then, and everything was portrayed to be pure and wholesome. However, people back then were the same as they've always been. And when it came to civil rights, things were even worse back then.

[ileavecommentshere]

1:17 "there's nothing like the coke" lmao

[MrHoppers002]

my mistake i meant liter bottles. 16 oz isn't crazy but i wouldn't recommend you drink more than a can of soda a day. Soda wrecks havok on your bones.

[Facebut85]

the music had a heavenly air to it :D

[cxrxuxe]

Yeah I bet that was his favorite drink lol

[charlott0e]

what is that thing playing music on the table?????????

[Clarensee]

In 50s people had so much more time on their hands...

[fantaXDaddict]

Watching all of these coke adverts is making me want coke. But we've only got stupid Pepsi in fridge -.-

[lava172]

unrelated to coke but they seriously need more 1950's styled diners like ruby's diner.

[fromthesidelines]

That's Fred Robbins, who spoke for Coca-Cola in their commercials on Eddie Fisher's "COKE TIME" (1953-'56).

[silvermarth]

Mmm... fallout 3

[cusanusnicolas]

The Arabs have the right idea, they use it for insecticide on their crops. Cheaper, deadlier.

[TimelordR]

@cusanusnicolas Are you serious?

[mtanyc]

Classic Shit !

[imonyourfacewoot]

Well I can say even though it's more than 50 years old this commercial is highly effective.. I really want a coke right now

[smikules]

0:40 If you didn't laugh at "the bit of quick energy you get in coke" you're not human.

[rakkipallo]

there were time when bottles were glass, cars and men were steel, girls were hot and everything was better..must wait that damn timemachine

[soccerman856]

damn i wish i could live in the 50s like so bad

[AnimeAspieFanatic]

I'm 18....and numerous times I've wished to live for one day in the fifties.

[inkey2]

@AnimeAspieFanatic Yeah, going back to the 1950s would be a real culture shock......even to those who lived through it.......

[patertre]

My Coca-Cola - always the best

[ctmale1956]

yes---- a woman completing her buying time....her AMEX card is worn out!

[fugueboy45]

Sweetdove 44, you are an idiot. Those old jingles were pleasant, not neurotic and noisy like today's jingles, if you can call that incessant runway beat with two or three repeated notes a jingle. Those old tunes were memorable, they stuck in your mind and always reminded you of the product. You, my friend, are the product of a crazy, noisy, age devoid of all subtlety and beauty.

[pinkstrawberrypuding]

@fugueboy45

oh well said! Couldn't have said it better myself.

Im just glad im not the one who upset you hehe.

[candistyx]

@fugueboy45 While everything else changes again and again and again, the perennial refrain of "back in my day, things were better" and "modern 'music' is just noise" will be played like an old record again, and again and again. My how I look forward to the day when I say it (although being an elitist I can gain a taste of it through the condemnation of "popular" music).

So much research is put into making ads "effective" that I'll bet, amelodious or not, they probably work. That's more worrying

[pioupiou701]

@fugueboy45 the reply button under all comments. learn it.

[texasghost]

They should bring back those table jukebox's..but instead of the jukebox..they should be table ipod jukebox's where you can play whatever music is available for download.

[Hypsan]

I don't know about you, but if I'm ever around a jukebox, or one of those old-fashioned table-top jobs like the one in this commercial, I ALWAYS spend my hard-earned quarters on PRODUCT JINGLES! Doesn't everyone?!? I was in a cafe on Route 66 the other day, and I ordered a grape Nehi with my grilled cheese sandwich that came with a choice of potato salad or cole slaw. I had the slaw. Anyway, when I went to play the Nehi Pop jingle, IT WASN'T THERE! I got up and left! Boy was I steaming!

[Hypsan]

@vbear66 You just named something more refreshing than Coke!!

[kakashidemon321]

"The bit of quick energy you get from Coke" Yeah.....the quick energy they didn't realize was bad for you. :P Vintage Coca Cola!! Made with really Coke!! :D Hahaha....I love the 50s. :)))

[inkey2]

@kakashidemon321 it only became bad for people when they started drinking "huge servings" of it. As Americans became fatties they demanded more and more. Back then coke was served in small glasses and small bottles. It was not like now with the garbage can sized "big gulp" cups

[kakashidemon321]

@inkey2 No, you don't seem to understand my point at all. lol. And btw, let's not stereotype people like that, k? I personally don't drink soda at all. :) But back then, there was real cocaine in the coca cola, that was why it had that name. They didn't realize cocaine was bad for you until later years, and then they begain taking that ingredient out.

[inkey2]

@kakashidemon321 even by 1902 coke only had 1/400th of a grain of cocaine in it ...by 1929 it was completely removed so by this commercial in the 1950s it was LONG GONE.....so no, back then in the 1950s when this commercial was made there was NO COCAINE in it.

[kakashidemon321]

@inkey2 Hey, would you leave me alone? Stop ruining people's fun. I never asked you to tell me anything, so go away and tell someone who wants to listen to you.

[inkey2]

@kakashidemon321 oh, sorry.......I am an expert on everything.....I can't help it

[kakashidemon321]

@inkey2 Are you really an expert on everything? How about an expert in physics? Linguistics? Microbiology? Just because you are an expert on random and useless information does not make you in an expert in everything. Sorry buddy. :)

[inkey2]

@kakashidemon321 i even know what a dodeccahedron is

[sweetdove44]

like the commercial but hate the song its just so annoying

[riverratt101]

I used to drink my Coke from an ounce shot glass and go out to play all day but now that I'm all grown up far from fridge I cannot stray because I'm hooked on Coke, 6L a day!

[pedrocheal]

The Coca Cola bottle has hardly changed, save for the logo which used to be embossed on the bottle but now it is printed with color red and white. I have an antique coke bottle retrieved from a sunken sea vessels in the 1940's which is very much the same as the current bottle.

[MrHoppers002]

a 12oz glass of coke is ok to drink. now people drinking half liter bottles that's crazy.

[spongebob1872]

@MrHoppers002 that's completely right, and true.

[gamedeathmatch]

@MrHoppers002 yeh well coke these days didnt have real 'coke' in it.

[MrHoppers002]

it's still good though.

[grdcdo11]

@MrHoppers002 i like the glass bottles

[joeman335td]

@MrHoppers002 a half liter is a little over 16 oz...but 12 oz is no problem? sheesh...pretty uptight there.

[MrHoppers002]

I meant to say liter. I typed that one too fast. :)

[Raman711]

Waiting tables must have been easy back then. people most likely didn't abuse the privilege of free refills, and nobody asked you for a side of ranch.

[pennyjack2]

coke and ice grate combo

[TheJomogogo]

Those tiny glasses of Coke wouldn't get anyone started today, we gotta drink it by the liter.

[MsCactusWren]

I remember those table-top jukebox controllers ... but I never saw one that would actually move when I pushed the buttons.

[pm0501]

I drink my Coca Cola every day! Tastes great with scrambled eggs and toast!

[crazyguy1913]

Looks like he is stocking those two girls at 1:17

[Fly0High]

the glasses are still the same shape after 50 years.

[XMichaelSpektorX]

lame
