Contrasts: The Image of Coca-Cola

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet was an American television show produced between 1952 and 1966 that featured the real life Nelson family. ‘Ozzy and Harriet’ became synonymous with the so-called All-American family and short-hand for the values of white, suburban culture of middle-class America. This commercial is from the late 1950s.

The famous ‘Hilltop’ commercial for Coca-Cola aired in 1971, and featured a jingle, ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing‘,  that became a radio hit song in both the Unites States and Great Britain.
