2. I remember that commercial with all those people

of so many different nationalities singing that song on a hilltop-- was it 40 years ago already? Damn, I'm getting old.

[Mind_your_head]

3. ya....twas a "nice thought".......

Let's get the world all hooked on high fructose pron syrup.....the CORPORATION IS OUR 'FRIEND'.

....That was Then...This is Now. (Someone should write a BOOK with this title! Oh, wait! Someone did!)

6. Coke still used cane sugar back then

They didn't start sweetening with HFCS till the 80s, the decade when pretty much everything went to hell.

[BlooInBloo]

4. That will always be the Best. Commercial. Ever.
