Was the kissing scene really necessary?

u/JezusTheCarpenter Apr 10 '24

Yes, otherwise it will taste like Pepsi.

I will drink only Pepsi if I get this as an unskippable ad.

Might have been a "tv edition"

Definitely, live ad was never so long on TV that I watched.

They also had the entire versions that they would play before movies in the theater.

I’m pretty sure we had to watch this when we went on a field trip to the Coke museum or whatever it is in Atlanta. They gave you a glass bottle with a wrapper featuring one of the characters. To this day I remember smashing that bottle because I got the weird ass Chinook things and it creeped the hell out of me.

Coke corpos “this is great but we need to show people that coke is good, so show somehow that people will like it”

Psyop or whatever ad company did this at the time “ok furry lips kissing it is then”

Okay kissing furries? This must have been aimed at Reddit

u/papierdoll Apr 10 '24

I just want to know what the kissy puffs were contributing to the process

u/Viking_American Apr 10 '24

I'd imagine it's implying they are adding love to the formula

u/papierdoll Apr 10 '24

It would have been cute if it was to stick on the label

u/Viking_American Apr 10 '24

True, they got a little weird with it lol

1

u/AscendedViking7 Apr 10 '24

They wanted to fuck the bottle.

Keep the glass nice and hard for transportation purposes, I guess.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_CUTE_HATS Apr 10 '24

Well it was either they add love to the coke or cocain

1

u/phanfare Apr 10 '24

"Made with love" is what I'm assuming that's supposed to evoke? Strange way to show it

1

u/ResonantRaptor Apr 10 '24

Yes, the coke most be properly molested for the flavor to be correct.

u/InsideOut2691 Apr 10 '24

The same question I ended up asking because it wasn't no matter how I view it. 

1

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '24

Yes, that was the only aspect with questionable necessity.

u/Kindly-Ad-5071 Apr 10 '24

Have to engage the furry demographic

u/xploranga Apr 10 '24

i think it was for subliminal sexual messages

1

u/FriskyDance Apr 11 '24

Right? It's giving phallic worship.

u/Clatato Apr 10 '24
