That was really good to watch until I realised that it was just an advert. Although the story may be true, it was ruined. Why couldn't someone just, let it be. It was all done for advertisement, which takes something away from it.
"Its a coke commercial but still a true story." - Such a shame

Ok this is pure shit... Making commercial about someone who is 100 years old, and drinking coca cola, like that is the reason he reached 100 years..

When a centenarian is interviewed and asked how they managed to reach such a ripe old age, they usually assume that their longevity is down to something they have done.
But there's a logical fallacy involved here called "post hoc, ergo propter hoc" which means if someone does something (X) and then something happens afterwards (Y) then X must have caused Y.
In the case of old people, one will say that they reached 100 by drinking a small glass of wine a day. Another will claim that they never drank or smoked and that's the reason they lived to 100. One will credit their vegetarianism, another their love of a juicy steak. Given that the advice is often contradictory there doesn't seem to be any infallible "method" of prolonging your life. And although it *might* be possible, I think Coca-Cola is best avoided irrespective of this guy's story.

#9 no matter how you live there is a slim chance you get to be 100, even with drinking coke and eating french fries from McD. So even if you find someone 100 years old who smokes and eats crap all day that is not the reason he got old.
If you happen to find that 80+ % off all that age past 100 have been vegetarians, well, that's another story...

I cannot believe this was a coke advert, EVIL company, absolute nonsense, all it means is that all what the man said was a lie and a script. STUPID.

There's great speech about marketing, search for "Bill Hicks on marketing." Let me quote: "By the way, if anyone here is in advertising or marketing...kill yourself...you're the ruiner of all things good...you are Satan's spawn, filling the world with bile and garbage...kill yourself."

How does Coca-Cola have the nerve to make a commercial that's about love, friendship and family. Makes me sick to my stomach that such a multi-national monster of a corporation, epitomy of evil and oppression would dare to do something different for a commercial.
*takes a sip of coke*
The nerve!

Right from the start I thought this better not be an advert for life insurance.
Fuck Off Coca Cola
