But at one time, however, there were Coke ad campaigns that revolved around the opposite, pitching Coke as a relaxing beverage to be enjoyed between the hectic and wild moments. Maybe it's because I'm ready for a break after a couple of stress-filled months, but pausing for a quiet drink or two seems like an awfully appealing idea right now.
It would be even better to take a "pause that refreshes" if Coke still cost 5 cents a bottle!
You are right....
ReplyDeleteI've noticed commercials taking a more risky approach lately. It's like they're trying to be "viral." It used to be that advertising was the domain of NON risky and/or offensive content.
Weird.
Now, have a Coke and a smile.
Five cents AND out of a bottle. I hate canned Coke.

Andrew: And when the advertisers get called out for being "edgy," they cry like little girls having their pig-tails pulled. They should probably have STAYED in the safe areas.
ReplyDeleteAlex: I am. I'm still posting junk, but some of it's been different than the usual junk, because I've had to think outside the box. :)
Thanks for stopping by!
