The only thing worse than getting in a car crash, is getting in a car crash that goes viral on the internet. Lucky for this guy, he can probably submit the footage to get royalties if the company ever really makes an ad like this. But most importantly, the driver is OK, and Coca Cola got a bunch of free advertising.
Haddon Sundblom, a commercial illustrator, was commissioned for an advertising campaign for Coca Cola that would have much longer lasting impact than he could imagine. Although some artists had previously illustrated simliar versions of Santa, Sundblom's images of Santa in Coca Cola advertisements in the 1930's through the 1960's were a hit, and cemented in the public mind what Santa looked like. Here are a sampling of the advertisements through the first 25 years of this campaign.
Once upon a time, Coca-Cola spent $100 million on cans filled with water that spelled like farts. It was supposed to be a massive promotion so that you would find cool things inside the can. These special cans would send a spring-loaded prize flying out of the can as soon as it was tapped. But these cans were also filled with water that smelled like farts.
Yeah, I think I'll just have a gulp Pepsi.
