Apparently, tangy but foggy doesn't cut it, except for Fresca. Why? I fondly remember Wink and wish the new Mountain Dew White Hot(?) tasted more like it. Let's see how long that one lasts.
This almost sounds like it could have been some of the inspiration for the jingles the Carpenters did in the '70s for the Japanese brand Suntory. "Lighten up your day with pop and pop...."
Wink was a similar drink to Squirt. Then Coke came out with Simba which did'nt last long. Fresca was similar but was just a diet drink only. Ann could make anything look good.
Even before Annie and Nancy, there was Donna Loren as the Dr. Pepper girl, singing a Dr. Pepper jingle. You can see a clip right here on U-Tube, under Donna Loren. And, of course, there was Joanie Sommers, the singing voice of Pepsi-Cola. Her jingle was Pepsi! For Those Who Think Young (a bigger hit, in a way, than Johnny Get Angry).
Most people probably remember the Wink commercial that went - "Wink...The Sassy One, from Canada Dry, Wink is so refreshing, man it's really hip, Wink is so outstanding, take a sip and you'll flip for Wink...The Sassy One, from Canada Dry!" This was a great carbonated (sour) grapefruit/lemon drink.
She also does Canada Dry w/Wink included but this is different. Never seen this one. i wonder what year this was. Ann-Margret supposedly had 4 billboards on Sunset Boulevard(according to her book)in 1964.
If that ain't Ann-Margret, she sure could be her stunt double.

@Daghead Why so bitter? Did you have some bad experiences in the 60's?

Yes - it's Ann_Margret. Look at the million dollar version of the commercial for the same campaign. Classic 60's shtick for over two minutes!

This was probably a response to Nancy Sinatra's endorsement of "Royal Crown Cola" in 1967-'68 {"The one with the mad mad taste!"}.

Ann-Margret was a spokesperson for the Canada Dry line of sodas and mixers in 1969. Very cool commercial--thanks for sharing it!
