The first woke commercial, I stopped drinking Coke years ago, and my diabeties went away.

Saw the TV commercial as a kid. Reached for another 7-up.

The tail-end of a long string of jingles by the worlds greatest recording artists that made Coke the #1 soft drink.

Here’s 83 minute worth, starting with the amazing Limeliters:

Nothing woke about Coke...to begin with.

[Ezekiel]

The woke 'tell' is that they were lip syncing. The sentiment was ahead of its time.

Later on, however, the iconic slogan became

Habakkuk and a smile, ko'ach adds life.

Ko'ach [כח]: power, force. It's the simple meaning.

(Jewish tradition is that the prophet Habakkuk is the boy whom Elisha raised from the dead, the son of the Shunamite woman.)

mDNA... it all depends on the mother.

In modern times Shunam is named Sulam, which is a ladder.

A person can learn a lot from a simple song, even a faked one that came from a hilltop outside of Rome.

I probably haven’t drank a soda pop of any brand in the past year. Sometimes when at a birthday party, or cookout somewhere, I’ve had a pop because that was all there was to drink.

The pop I’ve consumed in the last 40 years likely wouldn’t fill a 5 gallon bucket.

Don Draper’s commercial. 😏

[rktman]

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

WOW.....What a memory booster that was!!

[hardspunned]

Do you remember Up With People? That was the first woke crappola I remember.

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

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

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

[plain talk]

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.
