“Have a Coke and a smile.” (‘Mean’ Joe Greene, 1979)
‘I was suddenly approachable,’ Greene recalled during a presentation at Coca-Cola headquarters in Atlanta. ‘Little kids were no longer afraid of me, and older people – both women and men – would come up and offer me a Coke.’
While browsing the Coca-Cola site I came across this gem – “Mean” Joe Greene of the Pittsburgh Steelers taking a look back at the iconic 1979 Coke commercial that changed his life for the better.
You can catch the Behind-The-Scenes video below and read an overview at the Coca-Cola site.
