Pepsi Commercials 1970's 

Born 1957 . Yes a time capsule of memories

+Z WB , was he the head of the advertising dept. at pepsi. I don't remember his name but the same guy was there for years and had many stories of behind the scenes?

Deborah Kerns even though life was more labor intensive, it was still better times. People sit around these days and do nothing but complain. I’d go back in a heartbeat.

So u remember all these adverts ??

lilly d Me too. So many things were better.

Armpit Studios- not really. When you think about sexism, racism, discrimination ect. It’s a cool era but it wasn’t that good,

No decade is perfect. We just need to not look at any time period through rose colored glasses.

YOU ARE RIGHT STEPHEN IE ABOUT PEPSI , COKE, RC COLA I STILL GOT THE OLD CANS I RRMBER THE GLASS BOTTLES EVEN THE CAN RADIOS I GREW UP THEN EVEN 8 TRACKS I GOT GOOD COMMERCIALS OF PEPSI I ALSO LIKED COKE COLA THEN TV WAS GOOD THEN THANKS FOR YOUR POST I EVEN ENJOYED POCKET TRANSISTOR RAIDIO

Pepsi is not gluten-free, but Coke is.

Pepsi throwback is made now with sugar apparently youve never had it

James Earl Jones starred in many shows and movies.

James Earl Jones also played Thad Greene in "Mathnet", the last segment in the now-cancelled "Square One TV".

Justin Fencsak The Pepsi soda🥤 company has actually changed their logo through over the years. So there are some soda fans and Pepsi fans who like their favorite logos from the years

Thank god those boomers will never be repeated. Unless you mean the Greatest Generation? Now that is the generation I miss now. Oh and I am a Gen Xer, the child of boomers!

Frank Ferguson that is and has always been my favorite jingle for Pepsi. I was that generation, dead on.

I want to thank you from my heart for those lyrics. I still tell people about the one with the old woman standing on the porch of an old clapboard house in need of painting. A pickup truck comes towards the house, filled with laughing teenagers, ladders and paint supplies. They pile out and start setting up to repaint the whole exterior. The woman is so moved by the surprise, the happy generosity. She brings out a tray with bottles of Pepsi, and the song begins. That commercial filled me with such emotion, wanting to be part of beautiful experiences like that, making a difference to people, giving what means most to someone. I still tell people about the feelings that are just as strong in me to this day, around fifty years later. I'll sing your lyrics, the great melody, and I never get through it without my throat swelling, my ears tearing up. Thank you for something I will probably recall with a smile in the last hours of my life. I feel so blessed to be able to write to you and express my appreciation and gratitude. ✌️🙏🎶💕🌎 Its not just a commercial jingle. It's more. It somehow distills into few words the best about people, then, now, always.

For those who don't remember: It's the Pepsi generation, Coming at ya, goin' strong. Put yourself behind a Pepsi. If you're living, you belong. You've got a lot to live, And Pepsi's got a lot to gi - ive 😀 You've got a lot to give, And Pepsi's got a lot to give. 🎶💕🎶💕✌️💕🙏🎶💕 Carries the powerful feeling of the times about making a better world, despite all the corporate greed and what was in the bottle not being healthy. Something very special was here in those days. It doesn't die, just goes underground and arises in other ways. I miss the optimism of that time, do my best to hold the best vibration and emanate it.

@@adrianekelly2966 Thank you so much for your comment.

@@adrianekelly2966 Thank you for you comment Frank Ferguson

Whats he do now?

Hal Linden did the voice over, he later starred in Barney Miller.

Exactly. When there was no trading or internet, when everyone minded their own business and stayed in there own countries.

@@jillianhillborn You're right about there being no internet, but wrong about trading. Our trading with other countries was basically a low-key affair dating back as far as the postwar period of the 1950s, compared to 1980s-present. In the 1960s, for example, Speed Racer was one of many anime TV shows imported from Japan, where it originated as Mach GoGoGo, for example. Another example is the German car company, Volkswagen, who started importing their automobiles, the Beetle and the Microbus to various countries, including the United States, starting in the 1960s. Many American citizens in much of the US are descendants of people from various parts of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South America and Asia.

This country is made of immigrants, but back then people minded their business and had respect for others, that’s the biggest thing, RESPECT

Yup. Boy, do I love all the racism and unknown chemicals in your food.

cool

fahma dug The cars being washed all have New York plates.

James Willett Perhaps but that is Searsport Maine, I remember when it was filmed. I personally congregated at the Church in the clip as well. According to the story, the commercial crew was in Bar Harbor attempting to shoot a commercial. Evidently not much became of it. Then on the way home they stopped at a local gas station. The director got out to stretch his legs and looked up the side road and saw the church and neighborhood and liked it. That's how it happened.

+fahma dug I looked at this clip again. Yes all the cars have NY plates. Pepsi is located in Purchase, NY so most likely the film crew and personnel would have scouted for a location with their own vehicles, even up to Maine.

+fahma dug Remember that jingle like it was yesterday.

Barry's a talent. Love him.

lolol

Keith Davidson Yeah those are called modern cowboys🤠 and don’t forget there are modern cowgirls too.

Hal Linden starred in "Barney Miller".

Drinking sugared water.

Sugar water. Fuck apple

So cute!

That's my favorite commercial. I'm from Costa Rica and I was 7 years old when I first saw it in English without translation. That boy playing with the puppies is cute. Nice times, true Americans.

Chris Meyers me too

.... and that's why people advertise! :-)

Go get one!! :)

Ikr!!!😂😂

I’m still alive after this comment😍😇

+baylinkdashyt Definitely is. Didn't know it was a Manilow. Guess he composed those for a flat fee, or he'd still be getting rich off "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there."

Obvious you haven't ever tried Pepsi Throwback now made with real sugar

Do some deep research on hfcs , it's made from corn is safe to consume. Hfcs is available globally dont fall for the negative propaganda. Enjoy your soda

I have tried Throwback Pepsi. It doesn't taste any different then the one with high fructose corn syrup.

Barry Manilow wrote several very memorable jingles. However, the Pepsi Feeling Free jingle he didn't write. He was one of the singers in it - which is how he's connected to that commercial. Probably Manilow's most famous was Dr. Pepper's Most Original Soft Drink jingle. He was the lead singer, but it was written by Randy Newman.

But they still have the 70s vibe since it's from 1981

Barry Manilow had numerous number 1 hits over the years, including "Copacabana".

Still the 70s

Lynn Boyer where is the baton twirling girl now?

Lynn Boyer where are the cheerleaders now?

What about Mary J? Or Tina? Crystal?
