The latest Coca Cola ads was made in Casino. Using a shop that has been shut for about 2 years now.

This is the ad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tPXdHadUCY&feature=youtu.be

There are some rather odd things that have mysteriously appeared, and disappeared.

The same shop is used timed in in the era 1962 and then again “today”.

Cuppla things……

Not too sure what happened to the petrol pumps (that are still there).

I remember the Sharpes cordials truck in the early 60s. They always carried more than a dozen bottles.

There has been a substantial amount of doctoring to the footage. It is sort of interesting Woodie.

Where did that house come from?

The ad You’ll see the house behind the bloke is fine…. the one from the above pics. But

check the house to the right with the arched verandah………….. and the house next door to that.

Google street view.

So where is the house with the arch?

The house with the arch is there all right. It’s further down the street.

Not in so many words.

I find it interesting that the Coke delivery driver has a large thingy of Mt Franklin water and just a small thing of Coke.

It’s all part of the whole “health” kick Coke thinks we’re on.

Funnily enough, bottled water outsells full fat Coke here about 4 to 1.

I’d be interested on studies about advertising actually annoying people enough they don’t buy the product especially say intrusive pop up/under ads on the interwebs that get in the way of what you are looking at.

I don’t doubt Coke sales are falling. Maybe people just don’t like Coke anymore.

Did you watch War on Waste where they tested bottled water and found that Mt Franklin was actually relatively acidic?

Yea – I think their problem is more ‘product dilution’ – there are multiple other sweetened things to be drinking now than previously.

I did not, not surprising considering where it comes from…at least we know it’s not ‘just bottled tap water’ then.

Will go past next time I’m in town and see if the sign on the back wall is “original” as well.

It does make you wonder why they bother. Probably just to give the expensive CGI something to do when there’s no actual need for it.

And of course, Mt Franklin is a Coca Cola Amatil brand.

This is interesting, but.

Just weeks after it was revealed that supermarket giant Woolworths isn’t giving any shelf space to CCA’s new “No Sugar” variety, Street Talk has revealed that Woolies is flexing its muscle again by chopping down the number of varieties of CCA’s Mount Franklin water it stocks from five to two.

From https://www.afr.com/street-talk/cocacola-amatil-to-go-thirsty-at-woolworths-20170723-gxh79n

I also note, from going to Woolies, that Woolies has taken it’s “woolies brand” diet cola (both varieties) off the shelf too. Well, they ain’t had any for weeks now at my Woolies.

I’ve just looked on the Woolies website for Coke. (They do stock No Sugar now, probably because Zero has been nixed.)

I wish somebody would make a no sugar ginger beer.

I think you need some sugar to feed the yeast, and that other sugars are created from the fermentation process? It’s been a while since I brewed ginger beer.

The only fizzy drinks I buy are sparkling wine, beer & cider.

maybe it just needs some carbonated water with ginger beer flavour.

I think it cost my about $40 for a keg, yeast, raw ginger, sugar and malt.
You can make it alcoholic if you want

Yes supposedly most of the sugar is utilised by the yeast

I don’t think we get that over here. My Woolies stocks Bundaberg and Saxbys. They have diet but not any actual “no sugar” types.

Methinks it’s only newish. I only saw it on the shelves a few weeks ago.They also do a lemon-lime which I think is new too. The Portello and passionfruit (Diet Rite) has been there for a while.

I think it looks awful and so I would not try it. Brett got really sick drinking it. His bowels really didn’t like it. Going to hospital not liking it.

Reckons he’ll be back playing tennis and touch football in no time.

I assume one is in the stomach or something? During a bed shortage I ended up down in the kidney ward, chatting to a bloke who was saying his stomach was giving out after years of dialysis.

It was an odd change of wards, like the lung people it was mostly people who knew each other and regular staff but had a different sort of culture as it were. Bigger rooms for a start, six to a room instead of four or two. Another thing every day half the ward would all disappear at once when they were taken away for dialysis, then the other half.

Before and after meals there was pin prick tests, and where in a lung ward you might be kept awake by someone coughing of a night, in the kidney ward it would be doctors and lights as someone was having a meal and I think getting injected.

I return you to your scheduled program.
