I always thought that the puppies were used to distract the kid, while Mom, Dad, and Granny were drinking Rum & Pepsi.

Ack!

I hate that anytime I see Michael Jackson now or hear his songs it seems so wrong. It's all tainted. Probably me being narrow minded but I no longer see him as a performer but as something possibly much worse.

I totally get the joy of the spot DB mentioned and I will try and salvage that joy with this bit of trivia for anyone who can be honest enough to answer this question WITHOUT looking it up.

The boy in the commercial (in the red leather jacket and sequined glove) grew up to be somewhat of a TV star on a popular series and now hosts a game show. Who is he?

I hear you Peter. If he were doing that commercial today, you'd have to keep checking the cans for "jesus juice".

And she was cast in that role because she has 12 fingers!

And Peter, I think that's whats-his-name from Fresh Prince of Bel Air...

Alfonso Ribeiro!

He played Carleton Banks. What a great role that was.

And James Avery played PHILIP BANKS!!!



Just a bit less British than our own PB, I think— otherwise you'd never know the difference.

wow, that was a blast from the past! I'm the Pepsi Generation...although I'm a Georgia girl born and raised and might get my butt kicked for saying that!

I just found out the pizza joint down the street switched from Coke to Pepsi.

I'm very disappointed.

Knowing what we now know, seeing Michael Jackson frolicking with all those kids is a little creepy.

It all reminds me of college. We listened to Thriller over and over!
