The first time I saw this commercial I actually went to get a Sprite. Upon seeing I had none, I went to the gas station across the street and bought one.
I... I think this commercial tried to mind-rape me..... it friggin worked.
I feel thirsty! In all seriousness though, subliminal messaging is taken as general knowledge, but it's actually a pseudoscience. there's little to no evidence for its existence.
It's a reference, admittedly a little heavy-handed, to subliminal advertising, which the whole ad campaign was trying to riff off of. For a more overt example, watch the movie "They Live."
If it were true subliminal advertising, "OBEY" would've been up for a much shorter time, only a frame or so, just long enough for the subconscious to absorb it.
Talking about that, there are many experts who agree that subliminal advertising have no discernible effect on people's consciousness. Actually a cheap ten second ad with a "Sprite" bottle surrounded by ice, aired just at in the middle of a summer day could sell a lot more than any pricey campaign. I don't think there is a reason for the existence of a "under-the -counter" advertising.
This ad just reinforce the mistrust of people on advertising, many people thinks of advertising as a deceitful and misleading industry when in reality there are a lot of creative and hard working people involved in it.

If it actually tasted like lemon or lime or a combination of the two and not just water and salt I might actually drink it.

I think the whole "Sublymonal" part of the message was actually to get the viewer to NEVER drink sprite again. Seems self-defeatist, though.
