“I’d Like to Buy a World of Coke” - Hunter Biden version

[mikey_hates_everything]

Sure, Coke is easier to get but diluted Phosphoric Acid (which is the Coke ingredient doing the rust removal) is cheaper and cleaner.

hear, hear!

Wow, its got that old 70s Burt Bacharach feel.

Sure. But does that stuff mix well with rum? ;O)

Thanks ever so much for the looping ear worm   :-)  grrr

(and all it took was seeing the thread title in the sidebar!)

To me classic Coca-cola is the best tasting soft drink.

However due to an increasing A1C I choose to not drink colas anymore. Probably just as well as I used to ingest way too much sugar. :-)

I'd like to buy the world a Coke
And tell it jokes and stuff
Pull its pants down to its knees
And chase it through the rough

Faygo was far better and had better commercials too.

What’s good enough for other folks, ain’t good enough for me.

I haven’t heard about Faygo since I was a Juggalo.

I used it to remove the oxidized paint, from my metallic green 1955 Plymouth Belvedere. It was a lot quicker than using car polish.

This was the 1990 version

I believe it.
I heard about it from a HS biology teacher. He told us it was the best for cleaning up chrome bumpers. :O)

While we’re amblin’ down Memory Lane, here’s the last sighting of (Buddy Ebsen as) Jed Clampett.

“Buddy Ebsen Dances to Ballad of Jed Clampett”

[Disambiguator]

It “ranks” right up there with ‘imagine’ and ‘hey Jude’ for me. Can’t stand those songs.

Hey Jude is over seven minutes long. Most of that is repetition of the final chorus. The song should be about 3 minutes long, or even less.

[P.O.E.]

You’ll look better
in a sweater
washed in Woolite....

Honestly, that commercial is an ink blot test. If it pisses someone off, it tells us more way about them than the commercial itself.
It’s a nice commercial, with nice people, saying they would like to buy you a Coke and be friendly and peaceful. And the company itself is saying they want to sell to everyone on earth.

Exactly what about the message enrages some people?

I bet that “Have a Coke and a smile” really lights you guys off!

The Andrews Sisters thought so.
