Embarrassed how much Pepsi I drank in my younger years but man what a great Pepsi commercial!
Yeah, it’s a good one. Pele was a huge star back then. Mid-70s to early 80s. Was in tons of commercials. He even showed up in the ’81 film “Escape to Victory” with Michael Caine as you may remember.
I don’t remember that BD, but I very much want to see it now. Love the trivia!
