Here’s Sofia Vergara‘s very first commercial from 1990 when the Latin American division of Pepsi-Cola apparently had more “European” sensibilities about making 17-year-old girls strip down to a bikini to sell sugar water. Also, I’m pretty sure this is the only soda commercial I’ve seen that employs the use of camel-toe (In my mind, I’ve already credited Don Draper for this, but mostly just thought about his penis.), so clearly it belongs in a museum which is why I’m taking it before the Feds get here. *puts on fedora, cracks whip, tells small Asian Boy to start the car* Luke! We’re gonna have compan- aw, fuck, wrong movie.
Let’s revisit some old Pepsi slogans, and see which ones are now unintentionally hilarious:
1939–1950: “Twice as Much for a Nickel”
1950: “More Bounce to the Ounce”
1961-1963: “Now It’s Pepsi for Those Who Think Young”
1963–1967: “Come Alive, You’re in the Pepsi Generation”
1967–1969: “(Taste that beats the others cold) Pepsi Pours It On”
1980–1981: “Catch That Pepsi Spirit”
1981–1983: “Pepsi’s Got Your Taste For Life”
1983: “It’s Cheaper Than Coke!”
1984–1991: “Pepsi. The Choice of a New Generation”
1986–1987: “We’ve Got The Taste”
1990–1991: “You got the right one Baby UH HUH”
1991–1992: “Gotta Have It”/”Chill Out”
1992–1993: “Be Young, Have Fun, Drink Pepsi”
1994–1995: “Double Dutch Bus”
1997–1998: “Generation Next”
1999–2000: “For Those Who Think Young”/”The Joy of Pepsi-Cola”
2003: “It’s the Cola”/”Dare for More”
2006–2007: “Taste the One That’s Forever Young”
2008–present: “Something for Everyone.”
Some of them sound like what a beat looking hooker (Pepsi) would say while standing next to a less beat looking hooker (Coke), begging for business, while getting progressively more desperate:
“Heyyyy sexy, I’ve got ‘More Bounce to the Ounce’!”
“Don’t be shy, I’ve got something for everyone, even you, baby.”
“You gotta have it, I know you want it”
“Oh, chill out”, babe, I’m just having fun with ya”.
“How about you, you want some of this? I know you want to take a ride on this Double Dutch Bus! No? But I’m cheaper than coke!”
(Crying) “I’LL GIVE YOU TWICE AS MUCH FOR A NICKEL!!!”
LOL!
Remember TAB? What did they say about TAB?
I know it sucked, but that can’t be the slogan.
Who the hell drinks Pepsi, anyway?
Reminds me of a Tracy Morgan tweet the other day:
“I’ll have a coke”. “Is Pepsi okay?” “Is Monopoly money okay?”
I listen to Sirius comedy channel too.
Everyone who has ever been in one of those places that says “Pepsi okay?”
Just once I want to scream NO!
People who don’t like Coke?
Remember the mid 90s. Didn’t speak a word of spanish but watched every show with her on Univision. God, I’m old.
I’ve masturbated to her yelling “oh oh oh!” as she runs across the sand. Creepy, yeah, i know.
It’s amazing how much bigger her tits got.
Not amazing. For a few thousand dollars, her doc will hook you up too…
don’t spoil the illusion. A lot of guys want to believe that these Hollywood starlets have one bra size at 17 or 18, then “naturally” get much bigger over the next several years.
At the risk of sounding like some old perv, I should point out that it’s pretty much only the U.S. that fetishizes the age of 18 as the Rubicon between innocent childhood and okay-to-sexualize. Most of the rest of the world is pretty much OK with 17-year-olds modeling in bikinis. And then there’s our own child-beauty-pageant circuit which makes this whole thing seem positively quaint.
Oh, by the way, the age of consent in Sofia Vergara’s native Colombia? 14.
Yeah, the whole “Nudity bad! Violence good!” things has always baffled me a bit about my neighbors to the South. *shrug*
Your reply reminds me of the fact that up until four years ago, the age of consent in Canada was 14, too. (They changed the law two months after Justin Bieber turned 14—coincidence??)
Yeah, there was some caveat to that age of consent legislation, if I recall. Something about a maximum difference in age? An amusing distinction is that the legal age of consent for anal sex is still 18. I would have loved to have sat in on that discussion in the House of Commons.
Minister A: “I object!”
Minister B: “Pfft… you would.”
I’m pretty sure the Colombian thing is with respect to the deed doers age as well. I’m heading down there in 11 days. I’ll let you guys know if I see a shitload of Humbert Humberts.

“Your reply reminds me of the fact that up until four years ago, the age of consent in Canada was 14, too.”
For real?! Wow, I would have thought Spike getting pregnant on Degrassi would have made the law change twenty years ago.
Wasn’t Samantha Fox 16 (and known to be 16) when she was The Sun’s topless Page 3 girl?
(No, officer, I just heard that – I would never look at such a thing myself)
14????
Fuck this, Im moving there an becoming a high school teacher!
You gonna drive your own windowless white van down there, or just buy one when you get there? :)
Im going to buy an old ice cream truck and fix it up.
That way I’ll be able to store bodies longer without people noticing the smell.
Logging onto Travelocity.com right now….
“Wow, Sofia Vergara Was A Hot Teenager”.
No shit.
BTW I wish hiking your bikini bottom up to your belly button would come back. It tends to make most asses look nice.
I agree, this new Indiana Jones blu-ray set is fucking awesome. Haven’t seen Temple of Doom since I was a kid
There’s a major non-sequitur for ya! Or at the very least, totally off-topic.
I’m just glad she turned her back on C0$, AND the smarmy, lift-wearing midget.
I have the most normal boner.

Was hot. IS HOT. Still be hot in her 50s.
Methinks you math may be a little off.
Notice that she’s not as plastic as today’s teenagers…
She’s always been pretty. I don’t hate!
definitely hot.
now, that loud mouth ruins it all
What was her secret? Calisthenics? Was she an athlete?
She was YOUNG!
Um, how many of today’s teenagers look like this?
Right.
Today she is totally obnoxious with that forced cartoon like accent . Nothing but a modern day Charo and not very good at it . It’s like watching Spanish TV ……turn the volume off.
She’s nice to look at, but I don’t envy the guy who gets stuck with her long term. A classic example of, for every beautiful woman there’s always some guy sick of her shit.
Personally, I like the cola I get at Stewart’s Shops. No Sofia there though, sadly.
Goddamn she was smoking back then, still is.
Yeah, let’s make a big deal about her being in a bikini at 17. It’s not like Britney Spears was marketed as a sex symbol at 16. Or Mandy Moore at 15. Or like the Olsen Twins had a freakin’ online countdown clock for when they were to turn 18.
So…. Did she get implants at some point, or did she just have a really great latter adolescence?
We remember this ad running in the US – always wondered who she was. Thanks, Fish, for showing this again.
Now, could someone tell Grigori and me what they’re selling? We have no damned idea. It’s like the Cheryl Teigs ads, or the ones Sela Ward did. Great ads, but what was the product, besides boners?
The most stupid commercial ever more than Keanu’s Coca Cola tv ad
she looks awesome!
One again, the idiotic media making a HUGE deal about a 17 yo. in a bikini. Young teen girls have been wearing bikinis at the beach since I was a kid. From looking at her, no one would know whether she was 17 or 18. You think something magical changes the day a person turns 18? That one day a girl puts down her Barbies and puts on crotchless panties?
The boobs hahaha there goes that phony story about how they were always so big, she told her mom she wanted a reduction and her mother refused. Publicists come up with the best stories.
but why the chimpanzee sound effects? it was that much easier than using her real voice? LOL
