One of the new commercials Coca-Cola is airing on TV grabbed my attention, but I think for the wrong reason.  Or wait, is it a cleverly evil ploy to get me to remember it, either way, it worked. <\/p>\n<p>  They are advertising for the Coke with Lime, and they sing some stupid jingle, &#8220;Put the lime in the Coke, you nut&#8221;.  While you know it&#8217;s stupid that they have to have the word&#8217;s displayed Disney-Karoake style, that&#8217;s not the worst of it.  Their little jingle is even worse.  It comes off sounding like you&#8217;re putting lime in &#8220;the coconut&#8221;, which has nothing to do with limes, Cokes, or anything remoting related to their product.  If for some reason that had been part of a song of some sort consumers were aware of, it might make sense, but it isn&#8217;t a known ditty.  It fails miserably.  <\/p>\n<p>  And for inferring to potential new pop drinkers that they are &#8220;nuts&#8221;, seems very offputting as well.  Maybe Coke ad execs are nuts, certifiably, for coming up with such squallor.    <\/p>\n<p>  Oh and for the record, lime in cola sucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being branded as a Pepsi man since I worked for them a few summers back, I&#8217;ve taken a mild interest in the Cola wars and what&#8217;s up in that arena.
