Life Tastes Good - Coca-Cola

"We were six weeks from graduation - the five of us. Ears ringing, voices all screamed out. We rode home from the concert, in the car with no air. And as I watched them sleep, it hit me: That was the best night of my life. And I kind of wished we could all stay on that train forever

You know a commercial is effective when 10 years later you find yourself searching for it online and having to find it at all cost! It really is perfection!

I've never had a commercial have so much impact on me before. Even though I was about 10 or 11 when I first saw it, something about riding the train home from a good day stuck with me. I'm 18 now and this commercial manages to sum up so perfectly how I feel coming home from great nights out.

@charlyandjosh the thing is....i was just like those kids when that commercial aired. Young good lucking and a Coke fan.

This was the best commercial of my life, and i kind of wish it could make me feel this good forever xD

Aspirational advertising at its least subtle.

"Don't you just wish that YOU could be part of a group of friends as young, cool and sexy as these guys? Well, if you buy our product, maybe you will be!"

Still, at least that car apparently had no air in it, so hopefully on the way home from the concert they all suffocated and died.

Haha, no lie, watching this commercial made me tear up.. I found it a couple years ago, I even made sure I watched it 6 weeks before graduation, I did.. and it hit me, I've grown up.. Its crazy, but I loved this commercial then, and I love it now.

Its funny, everyone hates commercials, but looking back, you tend to remember the commercials from years ago, more than the shows they played during..

In italian version it's beautiful...

I loved this ad!!! It's taken me a while to find it again after all these years. This inspired me to write a short story about some friends that share one final train ride before one of them has to leave (well, it was never finished....)

I couldn't have been very old when I saw this, but I'm almost 20 and I could still remember this :D

awsome! It really impacts me, 'cause Im graduating from my career this june...

One question, "Voices all screamed out" means they have no voice because all the screamin and singing, don't it? Im spanish and this sentence kind of confuse me :P
