So many comments on a soda pop commercial. Shows how much good ads hold in our memories. Seven Up struck gold with the GH campaign. Another actor, Warren Vander made a commercial for Teem, Pepsi's version of lemon-lime soda. I've only been able to find a Spanish language version, but it was brilliant. Cowboy riding his almost exhausted horse in the old West. Comes to a tavern in the middle of the desert. Trudges inside with his saddle bags and says to the bartender, give me a bag of potato chips. Guy tosses the bag across the bar and cowboy starts eating the things. You can see the torture of his salted agony. He opens up a saddle bag and it's full of ice and Teem. Pours a glass and slakes his thirst. Back to life, he orders one for the road and the bartender tosses him another bag of chips. I had to drink Teem after that.
