Here is the love-generation version of the Pepsi jingle: slow, sensitive, kind of a Hallmark-moment kinda thing.

Vivian Vance for Maxwell House Coffee
Vivian Vance: Maxwell House
No, she's not Ethyl Mertz in real life, she's Vivian Vance.

Forever Lucy's sidekick, Ms. Vance was never able to escape being typecast as Ethyl. Even her role as the Maxwell House rep has become forgotten.

Kool-Aid #1
Kool-Aid #1
The Monkees singing Make friends with Kool-Aid.

One or two members of the group were not fond of their bubblegum reputation. This ad sure didn't help.

You could always use a new friend. Peace and love to you, too.

7Up
7Up
7Up is all action! 7Up your thirst away!

I like this ad because of one scientific line: "It restarts the natural moisture in your mouth."

In other words, it restarts your mouth with spit.
