Apparently, these guys -- the genetically engineered hybrid twins of Charlie Chaplin, Groucho Marx and Bozo the Clown -- evoked the essence of American cool to Filipinos in 1978. They're so full of cola goodness I can hardly control myself.

This kind of advertisement would never have run in 1978 in the U.S.
It's more telling that they used the word "pop" along with cola--"pop" was a mid-western word for any kind of soda, but it's archaic at this point in time. Whoever created the ad must have been from the mid-west. The "wholesome" approach bespeaks the same mid-America mindset. The commercial makers must have seen the Filippinos through their own eyes. Question: is the "pop" cola still on the market there in 2006?
