Thank you for that information! I was thinking the singing was very nice. It reminded me a bit of the Hollies or some other 60s band. If there’s any website with information on the session singers I’d love to read about them!
@@marybethshipley2969 Ron Dante was the lead singer on "Sugar, Sugar" by the studio group the Archies. He also produced most of Barry Manilow's early records. And if you want to hear another really fun, memorable jingle, here is Ron Dante singing for General Tires: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZPZrR2SDrF8.html

I remember this commercial I was 11 years old then. Pepsi then tastes better than it does now! All the sodas do since they quit using real sugar and using corn syrup now.
Pepsi is now selling “Real Sugar” versions in 12-packs of 12-ounce cans and six-packs of 7.5-ounce cans. The shade of blue on the cans is slightly darker than the “regular” Pepsi sweetened with corn syrup, the “Pepsi Cola” wordmark under the logo is in script font rather than block letters, and right under that it says “Made With Real Sugar.” Those go fast in the store, so when you see them, buy a couple of packs.
@tippey2011 have you tried Pepsi Zero??????...I love it it's Pepsi but without the sugar in fact you can't even tell it don't have sugar...have you tried Cherry Pepsi??...I love that also I drinking Diet Cherry Pepsi.....I hope you will reply to this
We were really "cute" in those days! Life was not perfect, but we had a good time, "boys were boys and girls were girls", we dressed the part, the muscle car era was raging (still have my first car!), the music was exciting, Vietnam was less though... May God bless America! Ciao, L (Baby Boomer Veteran)
Would this ad work today as well as it did then? I think it would be cool to air this like a retro thing. Pepsi's commercials today aren't this great!!! And think of the # of baby boomers who'd love it.
you're welcome! You get triggered real easy don't you? Feel free to find a 16mm negative, restore to HD electronic quality too while your at it. Then don't put a water mark on it and you dream will come true. I'm only guessing what's preventing you from doing that is, money, time, aptitude and your degree of laziness. Look like from your profile picture, that you enjoy laying around the house naked on your ass.....rather than working on a project like this....saving a Pepsi commercial from a water mark.
@@OsbornTramain The copyright holders don't see it that way. They create a commercial to sell an item and you put a watermark on it and destroy it's originality. As to a personal attack on my character and picture, you sound like a real loser.
Now, don't get mad. I know black people were poorer 53 years ago, but we couldn't afford the occasional soda???? I'm sure the pepsi and advertising executives meant to, it just never occurred to em. The real question is .... why?
Don't get mad, but the Black minority in 1968 was about 10%. This commercial by my count had 4 Black People and 25 white people (some shown several times repeatedly). That would be representative of the population in this time period. The white population demographic has been reduced significantly in the USA vs other group with Asians and Hispanic Growing extremely fast. There are no Hispanics or Asians in this commercial which again would be reflective of the percentage in 1968
@@OsbornTramain have you tried Pepsi Zero and Cherry Pepsi??????...if you have do you like them????...I hope you will reply to this oh just one more thing as Lieutenant Columbo played by Peter Falk would say I one of your subscribers
