    I dont understand why Coke needs advertising. I mean its coke everyone knows its there and tastes good why do we need a christmas ad...

    Same with nappies and panty liners do really need to be told you need them :confused:

    You need Coca-Cola? :confused:

    Advertising is as much to maintain awareness as it is to simply create it.

    they could wait until December at least IMO

    Why not. It continues to promote their brand And reduces their tax liability.

    The Coca Cola one is sh1t compared to this:

    People need that reinforcement that its there & it tastes nice. Plus how many times have you seen an ad for food and gone 'jaysus I'd murder one of those! :pac:

    Like most child-stars of the 80s they are now :
    1) covered in tatoos
    2) broke
    3) incredibly ugly

    I hear Coca Cola and a big Panty Liner company are going to amalgamate and be known in future as Always Coca Cola.

    Now that was good


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    Ah Christmas. Where every brand tries to save a penny by airing the same ads as last year thinking those with short term memories won't notice.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,425 ✭✭✭FearDark


    Christmas can fúck off til' at least the 1st of Dec and even at that it goes on far too long.

    I need that lorry to come to my house.

    I think the song sounds kind of sinister, at least the initial humming of 'holidays are comin'.

    Sounds even more sinister when you sing 'communism's coming'. FACT!

    yep as someone said to maintain awareness. i used to work in retail and i noticed the declining popularity of sales for Pepsi in Ireland. but then again, they stopped advertising heavily in this country for whatever reason


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    Anyone know what year that coke ad first appeared?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 91 ✭✭chrissb7

    Now that is a christmas ad!

    I don't know why some people hate christmas ads such as the coca cola ones! they've been around since i was a child and bring up great feelings for me and they're well done.A month before ok.....but the bloody ads for hampers and vodafone can go to a rotten place.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    I love the Coca Cola Christmas ad, but it's just way, way too soon for me. I don't like all of the decorations being up everywhere, the Christmas CD on repeat in the shops or the constant bombardment of Christmas/toy ads. I haven't at all been feeling very "Christmassy" for the last couple of years and I think it's due to premature overexposure tbh.

    Leave me alone until December!
