This is a restored version of the famous "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" ad from 1971. Called the "Hilltop" ad at the time, it is recognized as one of the most beloved and well-known commercials in history. The commercial was highly popular and was part of our 1971 "It's the Real Thing" campaign. It has been consistently celebrated as one of the most memorable and iconic spots in advertising history. "I'd Like To Teach the World to Sing, In Perfect Harmony," was later recorded by the New Seekers and released as a single. This link goes to the Library of Congress Web Site which has an official history of the making of the ad http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/ccmphtml/...

    Because I could not stop for death,

    He kindly stopped for me.

    The carriage held but just ourselves

    And Immortality.

    Darn! Why don't you see commercials like this anymore? Most of them today either look like people acting like they're on drugs or so odd ball you won't be enticed in the least to buy their stuff! What exactly is with producers and marketing guys today?

    MY goodness haters! Just look at it as a simple commercial for its "TIME" and leave it at that. When your kids get older they will say the same thing for the commercials you like to day. Life doesn't have to be complecated; it's true we humans just make it that way.
