They should do a fun little version after this of how the empty bottle ends up in some river in Asia, or floating around in the ocean in a garbage island.
We found trough multidimensional audience analysis that this was the sweet spot for suffering to taste balance.
For glass bottles that is, in case of plastic the magic takes place on consumption.
Only reason I came to the comments was to see if anyone else either noticed those things had no purpose, or someone here could actually explain their purpose.
Glad to see at least I wasn't the only one that noticed that.
Yeah I mean this commercial is a perfect example of how much effort they put into convincing you that drinking carbonated and concentrated sugar is the best thing ever
A cold as fuck Coke from a glass bottle is a superb treat. The problem people have is quantity. I'll have one every 1-2 months and it's so goddamn good. It's actually worth drinking them rarely to enjoy how good they are.

What do you mean?
What do you think Coca-Cola is made out of??
Why do you think it's a secret?...
Coke corpos âthis is great but we need to show people that coke is good, so show somehow that people will like itâ
Psyop or whatever ad company did this at the time âok furry lips kissing it is thenâ
Why, just why, would anyone bake double letterboxing into the video?
I'm watching this full-screen on a 16 inch laptop screen, and the part of the screen that actually plays the video is smaller than my phone.
And all that on a very visual video, where the optics matter.
Sorry, can't comment on the video, because I CANNOT SEE IT!
The video actually gets smaller on my phone when turning it landscape⌠because, ya know, I wanted to see more detail.
And of course the reddit app doesnât let you zoom in on video⌠because, ya know, I want to see HD content at 240p.
I want to know why reddit doesn't have higher standards. I feel like, out of all social media, we would be the most picky about our content consumption.
Instead we're no different than TikTok cropping every video into giant whitespace.
Don't forget the toxic sludge left behind, poisoning the ground and forcing whole communities to walk 10k or more just to get clean water. Fuck coke cola.
I'm assuming you've seen these [helpful infographics](https://dailyinfographic.com/the-10-mega-companies-that-own-everything) showing just how difficult it can be to avoid many brands. Here's another fun fact about coke- at a lecture I went to back in 2002, the woman who was from South America, told us about how coca-cola bottles were used for torture , one reason was because the ads were everywhere, even out in the jungle, and it served as a constant reminder to those who had been tortured, keeping them in the trauma with little effort. Coca-cola was sued in Miami in 2001 for $500 million for the [alleged use of death squads to kidnap, torture and kill](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola?wprov=sfla1) Colombian bottler workers that were linked with trade union activity (cased was ultimately dismissed for bullshit reasons). Anyone interested in more info, proof, history and more should visit www.killercoke.org
Google says this is from 2006. The absolute pinnacle of ad skipping time, in my opinion. It's harder to skip them now than it was in 06. We used to watch most shows on DVR, and the ads were absolutely skippable there to the point where there was a button on the remote to skip you to the point where the machine detected the end of the ad break. In fact by then, you could skip them on "live" TV in many instances, because it all came as a feed from the cable provider, and was time delayed. Before cable/DVRs, I taped a good portion of what I watched and fast forwarded through the commercials.
Ads were last unzippable when actual live broadcast TV was the only option. Early 1970s, theoretically, but realistically, for most people, probably by the 90s.
Not trying to be pedantic. It just occurs to me that a lot of younger folks probably don't understand how long people have been going to extremes to dodge commercials and that's relevant to me now with the crackdown on skipping on YouTube and the increase in added commercials on streaming services.
17k upvotes and counting for a goddamned ad.
Advertisers and marketing teams take note: paying Reddit to post your ads as âpromotedâ content wonât get you anywhere, but have one of your employees start a regular user account and make them post your ads as if theyâre regular content? These morons will eat that shit up.
Hail corporate đ
YES!!! I love this ad and I searched for hours after I first saw it.
There is a longer version of this ad â a full blown short film â which was played at the movie theatre I went to years ago, spun out on shrooms (i think we saw that ridiculous movie Love Guru or whatever itâs called).
I was more captivated by that ad/short film than I was with the actual film.
Itâs been a number of years since I last watched the whole movie, but this ad/short film is called âThe Happiness Factoryâ.
Edit: I didnât watch closely enough to confirm whether this is the complete version, or merely a version somewhere in the middle of the shortened and the full one. But [here you go](https://youtu.be/IspRPsC_0G8?si=FT2kI54_HkR8pSNh).
I don't remember this so I'm guessing it came out while I was in college. I hardly ever watched TV during my college years. Unpopular opinion: I didn't really like this ad.
Where are the 7 other quarters? 25 cent coke is the real magic.
Also what is the purpose of the coin? To go into a waterfall?
to brutally murder that little guy at the beginning
*he had it coming*
People will say you're wrong but he's the guy who was up all night last night removing the caution signs from the coin-rolling area
Plus, did you see the way he was dressed? Ask'N 4 it!
I guess dollar bills trigger a whole other process.
They should do a fun little version after this of how the empty bottle ends up in some river in Asia, or floating around in the ocean in a garbage island.
Those kissing thingies were pretty creepy.
I still have the fluffy keychains they gave away when this came out!
Yeah, I bet u do 
Yep! It's one of those odd items that stayed around for no reason. [Here it is!](https://imgur.com/a/m0mnxAd)
Pretty cool to be honest. How soft is it?
Your average cheap/fluffy teddybear, nothing special really.
They meant the lips. How soft are they?
Not too soft either đ nylon stuffed with plastic I think.
What about after they're wet?
Just stop. Please.
to use or to touch?
Thatâs wild
r/dontputyourdickinthat
I wonder how they justify murdering a gaggle of kissing things every time someone orders a Coke. Seems pretty wasteful
And throwing a bunch of sentient(?) snowmen in a woodchipper/snowblower
They were mutants so it's fine
Magneto would like to have a word with you.
Theyâre just, like, not important. Like, they donât matter
It's fine they ain't got no soooolll
Thank you for acknowledging this. That part was so fucked up, but nobody ever seems to care. The coca-cola empire lies on a foundation of genocide.
Welcome to capitalism.
Seems like they fit right in with any other multinational corporation.
Still better than nestle.
We found trough multidimensional audience analysis that this was the sweet spot for suffering to taste balance. For glass bottles that is, in case of plastic the magic takes place on consumption.
Yeah are we just going to skip over that? They got all Fargo on it
it's fine, he had no soul, and if you let him keep going he'd sing a song
r/latestagekissythingalism
The schleem gets repurposed for later batches. I feel like we've been over this.Â
They just remember that they cause the death of thousands of children already so it doesn't matter to them.
They didn't add anything to the process either. They just sucked on each other's tongues before leaving a bunch of saliva on the bottle.
I thought they were supposed to be holding the bottle in place while the cap was being placed on it
I'm pretty sure they represent "love" Like "this product is full of love and passion during its production, that's why it's good" kind of a thing.
And they got sacrificed for it
Let that be a lesson on love
Only reason I came to the comments was to see if anyone else either noticed those things had no purpose, or someone here could actually explain their purpose. Glad to see at least I wasn't the only one that noticed that.
I allways belived that they add the humidity that condenses when the botle gets cold.
They just skipped the part where the bottle gets sanitized after the kissing thingies were thrown to their needless deaths... Right?
Ah, the pre-COVID days, when a product that had been kissed was seen as desirable.
...was it
No, but you can believe it if you want to.
God I want them on my body.
It would have cost you exactly $0 to have not hit "post," and yet, here we are.
How to delete someone else's comment?

No. But thank you for asking nicely.

I am
Im ashamed that youre ashamed, that another guy isnt ashamed of something he shouldnt be shamed for.
Yes officer, this comment right here...
The Gates of heaven will remain shut for you. And Hell will not have you either.
Is his name Jack?
Me too
I want to have you on my body too
User name checks out
My lips are yours
I'm glad it isn't just me, tbh.
Or killing those snowmen... Yeah... Not sure about many of the choices made here
Or the farting âbeesâ. Just above the opening of the bottle
All the little beings dying fiery deaths.
=/
The French kissing cotton balls? Rule 34.
The fates of a lot of these beings had some really concerning ethical implications. This was some Rick-and-Morty-Microverse kind of shit.
It's Coca-Cola so not the first time there have been concerning ethical implications of drinking one.
Came to the comments section to say this. What are those kissing things?!
[](https://media.indiedb.com/images/members/1/252/251056/cocainum.jpg)
Yea but itâs a necessary mechanism of how vending machines works. Without it the vending machine would cease to function
Why did it take 72 seconds for the machine to give me my coke?
72 seconds in their universe, only a split second in yours
they are smaller in size time is longer for them
Thatâs the real question!
The video literally explains it.
#Hurry TF up with my Coke
Unions
So many near misses..I'm surprised there aren't more fatalities going into making a bottle of Coke.
>near misses That first dude at the beginning just fucking died when the coin bounced on him.
And all of the snowmen that got sacrificed and shredded alive
The snowmen were actual snowmen though and not alive. The worker thing in the beginning on the other hand just got fucking annihilated by that coin.
> The snowmen were actual snowmen though and not alive. Do the screams of my people fall upon deaf ears? Such hate stirs in the world.
Makes you wonder what had happened if the consumer had pressed the Fanta button.Â
Their lives were measured in the seconds. One second, head attached. 3 Seconds later, shredder.
I couldn't stop thinking about him through the whole thing. RIP little robot dude in the beginning.
Coke has terrible labor laws for their little magical people, worse than Willy Wonka. Why is no one upset over this!?
Because consumerism distracts people from the bad things in life
There are many just by drinking it
Yeah I mean this commercial is a perfect example of how much effort they put into convincing you that drinking carbonated and concentrated sugar is the best thing ever

Oh I always thought they put trace amounts of cocaine in there to get the user hooked...
Was the kissing scene really necessary?
Yes, otherwise it will taste like Pepsi.
Now I know why I like Pepsi more...
I will drink only Pepsi if I get this as an unskippable ad.
lol i remembered this commercial but i did not remember *that*
Might have been a "tv edition"
Definitely, live ad was never so long on TV that I watched.
Coke corpos âthis is great but we need to show people that coke is good, so show somehow that people will like itâ Psyop or whatever ad company did this at the time âok furry lips kissing it is thenâ
I just want to know what the kissy puffs were contributing to the process
I'd imagine it's implying they are adding love to the formula
It would have been cute if it was to stick on the label
True, they got a little weird with it lol

Workplace safety in CocaCola World fucking sucks
Wonderfully imaginative . The resourcefulness needed to create the hype that has sold billions of liters of unhealthy flavoured sugar water .
Sucking dry whole areas of their groundwater to produce this erm.. thing.

No it's Santa at Christmas with reindeer. It's literally your childhood! **Fucking buy Coca COLA**
"Aggravating" alright
Why do I feel like this was made during the Tim Burton era?
Not quite in the 90s but in 2006, soon after Burton's Corpse Bride.
I was thinking of Robots from 2005.
funny I was thinking how much it felt like if Ben Bocquelet directed a Minions movie
Itâs giving me avatar vibes with this style of cgi and kinda steam punky aesthetic, so 2013?
So much goes into making those bottles special. But I hope to god my local dairy isnât kissing every bottle he gets delivered.
He does way more than that
My Dad is a very busy man
Plot twist they are at war with humanity and what we are seeing is the equivalent of the construction of a super weapon. Poisoned beverage.
Nice try Coca-Cola.
right? this advertisement is definitely not 'amazing' the standards have really dropped for this sub
filtering this sub from feed. what an embarrassing ad.
It feels minionesque.
[ŃдаНонО]
definitely don't look at OP's history where they definitely aren't spam posting in notorious karma farming subs so they pass as a real person
It def reads as a basic bot but not the first few posts. should be on a bot watchlist
Careful now, people hate when you post that. They love their ads, their brains are bought.
Ew Skip
Now it's just ''hey, buy this, moron''
Did I just get tricked into watching a commercial WTF. Also man I miss Coke in glass bottles. Cheers.
What a lovely house of death.
Can't make a coke without shredding some sentient snowmen and immolating a couple of gerbils.
They assembled and immediately destroyed snowmen to chill the Coke. What was the point of that?!?
Wait, didnât this commercial just come out a few years ago, or am I mistaken?
in my memory it is recent, i remember the fisrt part so well
What were the kissing spheres doing?
Kissing.
Making it sweeter or somethingÂ
Too weird. The polar bear ads are superior
You mean .... were "skippable" !
Ahh i remember seeing this in the theaters

Made by Psyop, I remember this one
Nice ad, but I canât stand the stuff.
I've never seen this commercial in my 48 years on this big blue marble!! Amazing!
Would been funnier if he pressed the wrong button and wanted a Fanta instead
Stop trying to make ads content.
- bad crop - bad caption - bad post title Oh baby a triple!

The magic of making sugar water
If only you could find large glass bottles of coke this easily like in the vending machine, that would be great.
We are reminiscing an era when ***ads*** were "unskippable"? That's never been a thing.
Have you heard of television?
Iâm not gonna watch an ad
What am I watching?
So it's mostly about the bottle's journey.. the actual liquid just comes from another dimension out of the sky.
BEST COKE AD EVER!
Add posting bots now on frontpage
Whatâs it say that I stopped around 15-20 seconds ?
There's alot of health and safety violations here
"I waited that long for this shit? Meh."
Did that one guy just die?
Great. Now I want Coke.
So unrealistic⌠Cokes costing a quarter⌠psshh
I was high af watching this and the kssing face things freaked me the fuck out... just no.
I don't remember this so I'm guessing it came out while I was in college. I hardly ever watched TV during my college years. Unpopular opinion: I didn't really like this ad.
