Summer Is Pepsi Time With Santa

Pepsi was first introduced as “Brad’s Drink” in New Bern, North Carolina, United States, in 1898 by Caleb Bradham, who made it at his home where the drink was sold. It was later named Pepsi Cola, possibly due to the digestive enzyme pepsin and kola nuts used in the recipe.

Historically, Coca-Cola was not the first soft drink company to utilize the modern image of Santa Claus in its advertising – White Rock Beverages had already used a red and white Santa to sell mineral water in 1915 and then in advertisements for its ginger ale in 1923.

“This Is How We Do It” is a 1995 song by American R&B singer Montell Jordan. The song is featured prominently in the “Summer of Pepsi” ad series of 2011.

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.

Introducing Diet Coke

Diet Coke (sometimes known as Diet Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Light or Coke Light) is a sugar-free soft drink produced and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company. It was introduced in the United States on July 9, 1982 as the first new brand since 1886 to use the Coca-Cola trademark. The product quickly overtook Tab in sales.

Aristotelis “Telly” Savalas (Αριστοτέλης Σαβάλας‚ in Greek) (January 21, 1924 – January 22, 1994) was a prominent Emmy Award-winning American film and television actor whose career spanned four decades. Undoubtedly Savalas’ most famous role was that of the tough detective Kojak on television. Lt. Theo Kojak was a bald New York City detective who had a fondness for lollipops and whose trademark line was, “Who loves ya, baby?” Reportedly the lollipop gimmick was added in lieu of having the character smoke. Savalas himself was quitting smoking and the lollipops may have been his own trick for defeating his habit.
