I drink way too much of the stuff, or so my daughter tells me. Imagine if we did dance in the middle of the street as they do in many of those commercials. It might make for a spirited lunch hour at the office. :) Hi Tristan, I share that mouth watering effect with you — for me the drink of choice is Pepsi.

Every time I see a commercial for any type of beverage my mouth waters. An ad with a tall glass of whatever all covered in tantalizing condensation and I want it. It has nothing to do with the beautiful people or the party scene. It's all about the look of the drink or the visual image of someone drinking it. I love my Diet Coke but most other soft drinks leave me feeling like Jerry Seinfeld who said, "Maybe I'm putting too much ice in mine!" The taste does not inspire me to dance in the middle of a crowded city street. Nice post. Very thought provoking. I am not immune to advertising.
