Tab Cola "You're Beautiful to Me" Commercial (April 2, 1979)

According to an Atlanta Magazine article published in May 1963, Coca-Cola's marketing research department used its IBM 1401 computer to generate a list of over 250,000 four-letter words with one vowel, adding names suggested by the company's own staff. The list was stripped of any words deemed unpronounceable or too similar to existing trademarks. From a final list of about twenty names, "Tabb" was chosen, influenced by the possible play on words, and shortened to "Tab" during development, and designer Sid Dickens gave the name its familiar capitalization pattern ("TaB") in the logo he designed.

My father painted that van. Joe McClenahan or Joe the Painter. I was celebrating his life by looking up his old artwork online. Our van went through many colors, won many awards for this final paint job. It was patterned after the Monarch butterfly. If the commercial had better resolution, it was a masterpiece this was. Inside was dark brown crushed velvet interior and bench seating around a table that was mage from a large slice of wood with a high sheen finish set on a stump. R.I.P. Dad.

0:07 cuteness overload.

The "Just married" van kinda looks like the Oscar Meyer weiner mobile. Heh, weiner.
