Coca Cola TV Commercial - I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing - 1971

Disliked because I prefer Pepsi.

@desumeme You grew up unloved.

Too little, too late, to stop Coca-Cola's declining market share at the time (which wouldn't bounce back until the mid-1980s or so). Nevertheless, an excellent commercial.

"This commercial was made the year I was born-but-they still played it throughout the '70's! Excellent!"

I remember this commercial.

Holy cow, I'm old.

>the greatest country ever created and better than anyone else

Chauvinist phrases. You're very very far off peace, far off understanding, far off harmony.

You have to learn a lot, otherwise you'll steer yourself and your country into a mess.

You need to overcome your overly nationalism befor it does harm to you and others.

I guess if I was a wimpy liberal that didn't care about al queada taking over the world, then yes, it was enjoyable to watch.

It figures that they would take this commercial in Italy.  A weak country instead of them making it in the USA, the greatest country ever created and better than anyone else.

@203207ab I guess if I was a wimpy conservative and was deluded that U!S!A! U!S!A! U!S!A! was way better than France and Italy and all them other pussy countries, I might say this commercial would be a great way to rope in those gullible liberals to help continue financing the capitalist juggernaut, as it bullies its way to inevitable extinction.

But since I'm not, I can still wax nostalgic about the sense of togetherness this commercial created, despite being yet more corporate propaganda.
