Does anyone else love the Coca Cola Ad with the Neon Trucks going over the mountain Range? I only seem to get excited about Christmas when that ad syndicates

It's traditional to see that advert at Christmas!

I also like the Polar Bears. Anyone seen that advert? Just a bunch of CG polar bears enjoying Coca Cola.

[nomedo]

I hate the company and the drink, but I love the work of the artists they hire.

Undertaker, i saw that advert a couple times last year i think, but its my desktop background!, as soon as the season is over Im going straight back to a good old manly Day of the Dead Desktop lol. You're welcome Momedo and thanks lol

[Apofiss]

Aww I love it (Coca Cola Ads), I even have its ost. :D

[nomedo]

i found a bad quality flash movie from the Finnair 'poro' commerical
its a very cute ad about a deer (if its spelled like that?), they show it every christmas here.

I hate the drink itself, but they have some great ads http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/thumb.gif

Don't understand why people hate Coca~Cola. I mean I don't hate Pepsi http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

I just prefer a Coke. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

The Coca~Cola Company always has the best ads :D

[Catlantean]

I hate it because it tastes bad http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif And I hate Pepsi too, except for the lemon variety which is OK.

But I LOVE Vanilla Coke :D

Did you know Santa was green before Coca-Cola made him red? Since then he's always been red. The power of commercials, eh? http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

I hate the company and it's advertisements. The Coca-Cola company, proudly appropriating world religious and secular traditions, festivals and celebrations as if we ourselves created them.

[Mona Sax]

Aww, come on. It's just an ad, it's not like they'd drown us in Coke on Christmas Eve.


...plus I really like their products :D

[Thorn]

I hate the companies toxic waste that shouldn't be in our bodies, but I love the adverts. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[Catapharact]

Just to forward on Neteru's post:

Why do you think Microsoft spends like over 25% of their revenues on Marketing? ;)

Well they do have that Lol.

However, consider the pre-launch party of X-box 360 and the hype they generated around the system through all the advertisements ;) .

I posted this before but here it is again :D .

Wow i forgot about that advert, i used to love it as a kid, but Christmas doesnt have a major excitment effect on me anymore. I think its because i have to buy presents for my family this year >.<

[Fletcherton]

That X-Box 360 ad was sooo stolen from a sketch from the TV series Spaced. Anyone else watch that? It was an amazing episode!

At any rate, I don't see why that ad was banned. I could understand if there were like graphic deaths involved in it, but other than that its fine to me. How many xbox adverts have been banned now? Must be a fair few.

Santa's been red long before Cola took him. It was just convenient that Santa's colours matched their product so well, so they've effectively unofficially trademarked him.
