'Tomorrow's People' Coca-Cola (Coke) Ad 1987

Here's a rarity from way back in 1987; the famous 'Tomorrow's People' Coca-Cola ad.

A textbook exercise in naiveity by today's standards, it features an ethnically diverse group of kids singing about saving the world (but sadly not their teeth) by drinking Coke.

Still, great ad...

PS - No, that isn't Short Round, before anyone asks :)

I was in this video too. It hardly seems like 1986 when we did the 3 day shooting in liverpool. I cannot spot myself for there was like 1000 kids in total by the looks of it. My sister was also in the video. I remember having a cold urn of coffee spilt on me on my first day. I was not happy. I was alot happier when i got my 96 pounds for 3 days work though and as much cola as i could drink.

To me, this is the greatest commercial ever made, period. I have looked everywhere for it until I found it on YT just now and 10 replays later, the goose bumps won't stop! If you think I am taking it a wee bit too far, then you didn't grow up as I did in a poor African country where kids my age spurred me into life from hopelessness with words like "I AM" the hope of the world and "the new inspiration" who, if promised tomorrow, will "build a better world!" Was more than a song to my young mind!

This is exactly the video I was hoping to find/see, but I'm totally happy with just the Argentinian version.

I only saw this commercial once, and only the second half of it. Stuck in my head (was a young teen then) and made me hopeful. Thanks to You Tube, I know here the entire song. It's still one of those good songs - minus the Coke! lol
