I dunno. If they want to keep their slim figures, maybe they shouldn't be drinking Coke.

You're right, they should be snorting it.

"The pause that refreshes" is such a weird and awkward sounding tag line.

Is this from when the Coca in Coca-Cola was cocaine? If so, I guess you might lose weight?

On the other hand, the portions look small and wee, not like 44-oz Behemoth Gulps.

What gets me is it saying "... the drink that keeps you feeling fit..."

I think Coke may be a lot of things, but it's not particularly healthy. It's not horribly unhealthy, of course... but this ad seems to market it as a sports or health drink, and that it sure is not lol.

That said, I'll drink (diet) Coke during exercise. I'm just sayin!

Heh, this is like the LifeWaters and Sobe and whatnot. It's pale-colored Kool-Aid with added anti-oxidants, but it must be healthy if attractive people are drinking it while biking!

Well, after looking back and thinking about it, people then were much healthier than we are now. Coca-Cola was a treat, but people were not exposed to as much food as we are now either. They enjoyed being outdoors more and socializing with one another which kept them slimmer and healthier. Our foods have so many chemicals and whatnot which contributes to obesity which they did not have to deal with on such a large scale (no pun intended!LOL!). Most importantly, we are too connected to our technology which keeps some of us inactive. Coca-Cola is only a tiny part of our current unhealthy lifestyle/eating habits. I honestly don't think people guzzled it down as much as we do today.

All the servings I've seen of soda in older advertisements like this look really small, like six ounces or less maybe. It couldn't have much calories, and in the days before energy drinks it was probably a decent caffeine fix.

Well, it probably wasn't so bad to have a relatively small glass of soda - only a few ounces, compared to the 44 oz. Big Gulps that are the norm these days. Plus, no high-fructose corn syrup!
