Published on March 25, 2008 in 1990s, Cola, Commercials, Drinks, Funny, MC Hammer, Music, Parody, Pepsi, Soft Drinks and USA.

Pepsi and other similar products contain large amounts of sugar. Excessive sugar intake is thought to be a contributing factor in the development of certain types of diabetes.

[MC] Hammer also began the trend of rap artists being accepted as mainstream pitchmen. Prior to Hammer, it was virtually unheard of for a hip-hop artist to be seen in a major commercial spot. Hammer appeared in major marketing campaigns for companies such as Pepsi and Taco Bell to the point that he was criticized as a “sell-out”.

“Feelings” is a song by Morris Albert, first recorded by him as the title track of his 1975 debut album. The song’s lyrics, recognizable by their “woah woah woah” chorus, concern the singer’s inability to “forget my feelings of love.” Albert’s original recording of the song was very successful, reaching the Top 10 in both the pop and Adult Contemporary charts in America and performing well internationally.

Yo quiero Taco Bell

Published on January 27, 2008 in 1990s, Animals, Commercials, Dogs, Fast Food, Funny, Hot Sauce, Taco Bell, Tacos and USA.

A lawsuit filed in 1998 by Joseph Shields and Thomas Rinks alleged Taco Bell failed to pay them for use of the Chihuahua character they created. The men alleged that Taco Bell had breached payment on a contract after they worked with the restaurant chain for a year to develop the talking Chihuahua for use in marketing. The talking Chihuahua became a hit with the first advertisement, in which the character bypasses a female Chihuahua for a Taco Bell taco and declares: “Yo quiero Taco Bell.”

In commercials, the dog was made to speak through special effects. His advertising catch-phrase was “¡Yo quiero Taco Bell!”. There were thought to have been two equally valid translations for this Spanish phrase: “I want Taco Bell!” and “I love Taco Bell!” However, in the commercials, the subtitle “I want some Taco Bell” and did not acknowledge the dual meaning of this phrase because for it to have meant “I love Taco Bell” the phrase in spanish would have to have been “Yo quiero a Taco Bell” and the original phrase missed the preposition.
