It's no secret...we LOVE Coca-Cola! For as long as we can remember, Coke has always been a part of our lives, be it as a super special treat as a kid, right up to now where it's the first port of call when out for a meal, at a fast food joint (like the cool kids), cinema or actually here at Truffle Towers where we have a fridge full the the brim of the sweet stuff!

I'm sure we're not the only ones out there who have a cheeky Coke as one of the simple pleasures in life. To celebrate possibly one of the biggest and best brands ever...(much like we did with the Levi's ads post), we thought we would take a tasty trip down memory lane and have a look back at some of the classic TV Coca-Cola Adverts and see if they fire up your fizzy memory. Take a peep....

Beach - 1963

Campaign: "Things Go Better with Coke"

It was in 1963 that Coca-Cola started using the slogan "Things Go Better with Coke." Advertising agency McCann-Erickson worked with popular acts at the time to create musical jingles utilizing the slogan. This campaign also saw a huge number of jingles reworked from popular sings of the time which were also played all over the radio in advertising slots. Not surprisingly, people loved it! Not sure it would work these day on us cynical bunch though. What do you think?

WE HAVE TEE POWERRRRR!!

Every woman wants him, every man wants to be him...yep uber ripped, washboard abs hero He-Man is back in action once again on some amazing new exclusive and 100% official T-Shirts!

Fight against evil and become the most powerful being in the universe simply by donning this amazing new He-Man T-Shirt and saying those magic words we'd all love to shout as kids (and sometimes even now but shhhh). This design is printed onto a premium vintage tee which features scuffed ribbing around the neck, arms and hem. This is an intentional feature which adds to the aged look and feel of the tee and makes this just that little extra special.

But wait there's more!

Probably the coolest cartoon babe ever to exist, He-Man's twin sister She-Ra (how ridiculous are their genes huh?) is just as much of a butt whooping action packed heorine as her sibling, but she does bring her own twist to things with a much more strategic method about it. Ever so loyal and looking to do the right thing every step of the way, She-Ra is a dream of a woman and we will proudly rock her image on our tees any day!

Purple Ronnie illustrations are immediately recognisable for their fun, sketchy stick-man imagery and have donned many a cheeky greetings card over the years. Giles Andreae was the artist genius behind the funny character designs which have been going strong since 1987. This cool tee pays homage to fatherhood with it's Super Dad design. The perfect Fathers Day gift for your dad this year.
