Soda in Song

Today was set to be a doomsday for super-sized sodas in New York, and a victory for our very own health-minded Mayor Bloomberg. But the ban he dreamt up on massive (more than 16 oz) sodas was invalidated by a state court judge yesterday which means it will be business as usual. Me, I’ve always been a bigger fan of soda commercials, than the actual fizzy stuff. Like this gem from 1984 with the, ahem, king of pop, himself, singing a Pepsi-fied version of “Billie Jean” and starring a young, red leather-clad Alfonso Ribeiro, aka Carlton from Fresh Prince. Drink it in.
