I walked round this being filmed in the Shepparton Studios in rhe UK, so while the ad was US, it was actually made in the UK. I was a toddler, my parents supplied the jukebox in the diner. Afterwards the studio paid my parents compensation because the records had warped under the studio lights. They'd already anticipated this and had put a load of crap or scratched ones in anyway!! 😂 The stufio was amazing. One of Ridley Scott's assistants (a lady called Mercedes, possibly american jewish?) led me round watching the remote controlled spaceships fly around on wired and the cars shaking. She was feeding me mars bars, I've never really liked them semse but free sugar and wow-y things to look at for a toddler? Let's just say it's one of my earliest memeories but what an amazing one. Thanks for uploading this!!! 👍🏼
Lucas and Spielberg made everything about the 80s magical to the child in us. From movies to tv to toys, to candy to soft drinks. I remember this commercial on Saturday mornings and when Star Wars first aired on network TV on CBS in 1984. Remember the blue alien on the Reeses Pieces commercials?
LOL no subtlety whatsoever with those Pepsi ads. You can almost hear the director shouting in the background: "PUT THE PEPSI MACHINE IN FRONT! IN FRONT! BRIGHTER LIGHTS! BRIGHTER THAN COKE! KID NEEDS TO LICK HIS LIPS! PROVE PEPSI BETTER! BETTER THAN COKE!" Decades later... "All you have is Pepsi? No Coke? Ew... I'll have water then." Every Pepsi ad says "We're better than Coke!". Every Coke ad? "Have a Coke". hahaha... pretty clear who won the cola wars. Though honestly both are horrible for you.

You were at the set? Cool.
I'm still in disbelief you could say "our competition sucks" back in the 80's

I didn't know those aliens are thieves!
Funny and smart ad. Great choice. It's America's choice! 👏🥰
