"Have a Pepsi Day" (skateboard kids) (Mac Birthday country barn gift) (Family reunion) (Frisbee game)
"Catch that Pepsi Spirit" (Baton Girl Marching Band) (Baseball Home Run,Farmtown) (Marry Me Skywriting) (Welcome Home Papa)

I was born in 1960, and these videos bring back some wonderful memories....
Born 1957 . Yes a time capsule of memories
Grew up in the 1970s and it really was a simpler more optimistic time where people actually talked to one another. I miss it.
I remember with nostalgia these Pepsi ads from 1970, healthy commercials, I mainly remember the ad of the father who visits his mother with his children and the little boy who plays with the puppies.
I cry when i see these. I am crying this minute. I think we have lost our way today. The wholesome cheerful America I remember is embodied in these. I miss us. I miss us so much.
Back when they made commercials with feeling. Some of these brought tears to my eyes.
Love the 1970's and love these Pepsi commercials from the 1970's as well!
My grandpa use to do the advertising for pepsi and the commercials during this time. I love you Grandpa Gerry!! It is awesome seeing this! You will never be forgotten!
+Z WB , was he the head of the advertising dept. at pepsi. I don't remember his name but the same guy was there for years and had many stories of behind the scenes?
That Energy!! That generation will never be repeated..
Thank god those boomers will never be repeated. Unless you mean the Greatest Generation? Now that is the generation I miss now. Oh and I am a Gen Xer, the child of boomers!
I remember some of these commercials when I was a kid. Simpler times...miss them.
Deborah Kerns even though life was more labor intensive, it was still better times. People sit around these days and do nothing but complain. I’d go back in a heartbeat.
So u remember all these adverts ??
Back in the 70s kids, teens, and young adults really did wear short shorts in summer along with mid-thigh white sox with colored bands at the top.
Commercials can stir memories just like songs and movies!
I am SO happy to find the Pepsi commercial that aired with the baseball player. I had a major crush on that guy (whoever he is) when I was in my 20's. Thank you so much for posting this video! You have made my day!
Thanks, they had some really catchy tunes for these ads back then.
I realized in the "Family Reunion" commercial, Robert Earl Jones played the Grandfather. He was James Earl Jones's father and he was an actor who had been in a lot of movies back in the day.
~Dutch
James Earl Jones starred in many shows and movies.
James Earl Jones also played Thad Greene in "Mathnet", the last segment in the now-cancelled "Square One TV".
I see the resemblance.❤
2:38, lodged in our collective 70s memories. The boy with the puppies.
Yes!
Oh, how I miss the 70's
lilly d Me too. So many things were better.
Armpit Studios- not really. When you think about sexism, racism, discrimination ect. It’s a cool era but it wasn’t that good,
No decade is perfect. We just need to not look at any time period through rose colored glasses.
These bring back some wonderful memories! I'm a Coke guy and always will be, and yet these commercials from my day make me smile. BTW, both Coke and Pepsi were better back then because they had actual sugar instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup in it.
YOU ARE RIGHT STEPHEN IE ABOUT PEPSI , COKE, RC COLA I STILL GOT THE OLD CANS I RRMBER THE GLASS BOTTLES EVEN THE CAN RADIOS I GREW UP THEN EVEN 8 TRACKS I GOT GOOD COMMERCIALS OF PEPSI I ALSO LIKED COKE COLA THEN TV WAS GOOD THEN THANKS FOR YOUR POST I EVEN ENJOYED POCKET TRANSISTOR RAIDIO
Pepsi is not gluten-free, but Coke is.
Pepsi throwback is made now with sugar apparently youve never had it
Those hippies sure loved that pepsi cola.
This commercial has so much energy.
Just recently I found myself tailgating a truck that said on the back, "Join the Pepsi people, feelin' free."
Very happy that Pepsi brought the 60s logo back
Justin Fencsak The Pepsi soda🥤 company has actually changed their logo through over the years. So there are some soda fans and Pepsi fans who like their favorite logos from the years
My best friend who is a well known New York actor is seen at the 12:00 mark. I remember well when the commercial was shot. We were excited that he got the product shot. The commercial won several industry awards including best commercial of the year. Also seen are Antonia Rey and the legendary Molly Picon.
Whats he do now?
Hal Linden did the voice over, he later starred in Barney Miller.
The years of my childhood. Some of these I remember, some I don't. Wish I'd been older during the '70s so my memories were more vivid.
I love these commercials!
I wrote the song lyrics Pepsi Generation coming at you going strong and so on.. For Carl Gooden who was needing lyrics for a Pepsi song contest in the hallway of Lafayette High in Ellisville MO. 1969 . His band won the contest.
The Pepsi Tone's
Frank Ferguson that is and has always been my favorite jingle for Pepsi. I was that generation, dead on.
I want to thank you from my heart for those lyrics. I still tell people about the one with the old woman standing on the porch of an old clapboard house in need of painting. A pickup truck comes towards the house, filled with laughing teenagers, ladders and paint supplies. They pile out and start setting up to repaint the whole exterior. The woman is so moved by the surprise, the happy generosity. She brings out a tray with bottles of Pepsi, and the song begins. That commercial filled me with such emotion, wanting to be part of beautiful experiences like that, making a difference to people, giving what means most to someone. I still tell people about the feelings that are just as strong in me to this day, around fifty years later. I'll sing your lyrics, the great melody, and I never get through it without my throat swelling, my ears tearing up. Thank you for something I will probably recall with a smile in the last hours of my life. I feel so blessed to be able to write to you and express my appreciation and gratitude. ✌️🙏🎶💕🌎 Its not just a commercial jingle. It's more. It somehow distills into few words the best about people, then, now, always.
For those who don't remember:
It's the Pepsi generation,
Coming at ya, goin' strong.
Put yourself behind a Pepsi.
If you're living, you belong.
You've got a lot to live,
And Pepsi's got a lot to gi - ive 😀
You've got a lot to give,
And Pepsi's got a lot to give.
🎶💕🎶💕✌️💕🙏🎶💕
Carries the powerful feeling of the times about making a better world, despite all the corporate greed and what was in the bottle not being healthy. Something very special was here in those days. It doesn't die, just goes underground and arises in other ways. I miss the optimism of that time, do my best to hold the best vibration and emanate it.
@@adrianekelly2966 Thank you so much for your comment.
@@adrianekelly2966 Thank you for you comment Frank Ferguson
I was born in the 80's and I love pepsi
Also, 7:36. When I was a child, there was a guy that lived near us who owned a dog named Zeb. He was awesome at catching Frisbees. So much so that, we were told, he'd made it through several rounds to be in a new Pepsi commercial that featured a Frisbee-catching dog. I remember thinking that one day I'd get to have an picture/headshot of Zeb as the famous Pepsi dog :-).
on ice in glass bottles and containing real sugar consumed by Americans with family values. I just cant catch that spirit nowdays.
Exactly. When there was no trading or internet, when everyone minded their own business and stayed in there own countries.
@@jillianhillborn You're right about there being no internet, but wrong about trading.
Our trading with other countries was basically a low-key affair dating back as far as the postwar period of the 1950s, compared to 1980s-present.
In the 1960s, for example, Speed Racer was one of many anime TV shows imported from Japan, where it originated as Mach GoGoGo, for example.
Another example is the German car company, Volkswagen, who started importing their automobiles, the Beetle and the Microbus to various countries, including the United States, starting in the 1960s.
Many American citizens in much of the US are descendants of people from various parts of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South America and Asia.
This country is made of immigrants, but back then people minded their business and had respect for others, that’s the biggest thing, RESPECT
Yup. Boy, do I love all the racism and unknown chemicals in your food.
Those 70s vibe cx Soo wish I lived in the 70s man
The Car wash commercial at 3:10 was filmed in my home town Searsport Maine
cool
fahma dug The cars being washed all have New York plates.
James Willett Perhaps but that is Searsport Maine, I remember when it was filmed. I personally congregated at the Church in the clip as well. According to the story, the commercial crew was in Bar Harbor attempting to shoot a commercial. Evidently not much became of it. Then on the way home they stopped at a local gas station. The director got out to stretch his legs and looked up the side road and saw the church and neighborhood and liked it. That's how it happened.
+fahma dug I looked at this clip again. Yes all the cars have NY plates. Pepsi is located in Purchase, NY so most likely the film crew and personnel would have scouted for a location with their own vehicles, even up to Maine.
+fahma dug Remember that jingle like it was yesterday.
The Pepsi Generation lives on!
Eddie Mac was a childhood friend. He could ride like the wind. They hung a bike above the horse to get that surprised look on Eddie Mac's face. (5:09)
Now I want to go back and do it all over again !
Ah, those were the days. Paper cups with a coating of wax.
Oh happy days..Thx for the great memories
"You got a lot to live and Pepsi's got a lot to give", my favorite memory.
“Join the Pepsi people...” written by Barry Manilow
Barry's a talent. Love him.
The best one is at 3:06 by the First Congressional Church on 8 Church St. in Searsport, Maine in 1973. It's one of the Pepsi People Feeling Free commercials.
The local drive-in ( yup, we still have one) plays retro ad's during intermission. One is this neat Catch the Pepsi Spirit Peter Max ad. Very late 60s/early 70s.
I'll never forget in the movie Electric Dream what the computer does with this commercial.
apparently there were a lot of cowboy americans still around in the 70's
lolol
Keith Davidson Yeah those are called modern cowboys🤠 and don’t forget there are modern cowgirls too.
Only remember getting Pepsi in ringed cans back mid 70s on era? Only got glass bottles in bars or restaurants. Better tasting in glass bottles for sure .
"Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or join me and change the world?" -Steve Jobs to John Sculley
Drinking sugared water.
Sugar water. Fuck apple
Most of the early spots in this compilation reel were one-minute long. Today few spots run that long.
Clips and audio from the 2nd commercial are in Spike Lee's film "Crooklyn"
My history my taste!!!❤️
In the first spot we have Hal Linden on the voice-over. Now you know. ;)
Hal Linden starred in "Barney Miller".
Now I want a Pepsi.
Chris Meyers me too
.... and that's why people advertise! :-)
Go get one!! :)
1:55 lol that kids face "Samantha? Wtf?"
Ahhh!! Simpler times
Car Wash was pretty much the Campaign Spot for Feelin' Free -- that's the version that Barry Manilow (who wrote the jingle) uses in his Very Strange Medley, available elsewhere here on this fine video streaming service. :-) It's gotta be one of the top 10 commercial jingles so far in history...
+baylinkdashyt Definitely is. Didn't know it was a Manilow. Guess he composed those for a flat fee, or he'd still be getting rich off "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there."
Drink it in! Drink it in! Drink it in!
The kid with the puppies ...
So cute!
That's my favorite commercial. I'm from Costa Rica and I was 7 years old when I first saw it in English without translation. That boy playing with the puppies is cute. Nice times, true Americans.
The second commercial, the father reminds me of Black Dynamite
Ikr!!!😂😂
I’m still alive after this comment😍😇
Wow, it's like, "Pepsi: The Cult. Join Us."
When Pepsi didn't have that HFCS, But REAL sugar.....
Obvious you haven't ever tried Pepsi Throwback now made with real sugar
Do some deep research on hfcs , it's made from corn is safe to consume. Hfcs is available globally dont fall for the negative propaganda. Enjoy your soda
I have tried Throwback Pepsi. It doesn't taste any different then the one with high fructose corn syrup.
Holy cow, these are miles ahead of the crap marketing Pepsi and especially Mountain Dew is using these days. The cute little baton twirler spot makes my heart ache.
Ahh yes, the ‘70s, when the battle for the digger dollar started in full force.
This is why we have all this plastic in our oceans and landfills. It all started with the release of Pepsi's 2-liter plastic bottle. Prior to this all bottles were glass and redeemable.
PepsiCo, the company that owns Pepsi, was a sponsor of "The MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour" on PBS from 1989-1993.
11:08 "YES!! NOW - BACKWARDS!!!" - cue: "Video" by Jeff Lynn.
I watch these old commercials and everyone was happy and together. What has happened to the world. Fights wars hate! These commercials everyone no matter Color sex or nationality everyone was having fun and happy!
Great comercials, pass The peace Messenger and happinnes and good health.
i love how this 70s compilation misses the one most important with the ALIEN actress on it, the one with the bicycles.. :/
I grew up drinking Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, RC Cola, Sunkist, Tab, Mr. Pibb, Sprite, Cream Soda, Hawaiian Punch, Canada Dry Gingerale, and Country time Lemonade. I was not brand loyal, I was taste loyal. Weird how these days the sodas are still here but with weird differences that never existed then like they do now. Coke Zero, Coke with lemon, line, vanilla, cherry, cinnamon. Anyone remember that awful wave of Pepsi Clear??
The catch that Pepsi spirit jingle was written by the late great Luther Vandross.
The last three commercials are NOT from the 70's they're from the early 1980's.
But they still have the 70s vibe since it's from 1981
2:40 starting here you can really hear Barry Manilow's distinctive sound in the chorus of voices.
3:18 you can hear Melissa Manchester's voice in the chorus.
I'm digging the one with an empowered black girl. She has a father.
Barry Manilow wrote the Pepsi Generation jingle.
Barry Manilow wrote several very memorable jingles. However, the Pepsi Feeling Free jingle he didn't write. He was one of the singers in it - which is how he's connected to that commercial. Probably Manilow's most famous was Dr. Pepper's Most Original Soft Drink jingle. He was the lead singer, but it was written by Randy Newman.
My Aunt Pat lives in Florida, and she loves her Pepsi!
Good lord, listen to all of you! Yeah, cola is terrible for you. Like war, it is not healthy for children and other living things. Shame, shame, shame on PepsiCo. What a naughty, naughty corporation! Tsk tsk. But my God, the talent and creativity that was poured into this ad campaign! It may have been in the service of teh eeeeee-bul junk food, but each and every one of these ads is a stunning piece of work nonethless.
Only if all of America could have a pepsi day, all would be OK!
These commercials took Pepsi's market share from 19.8% in 1970 to 27.8% in 1980. In comparison, Coke only grew 2%, from 35% to 37%.
I think everyone in Place of Power & Public Offices should watch some of our more pure & honest collections of stories about American Positive Power & "Love" The American Way - Hoping to REFRESH THEIR MEMORIES OF WHY WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY & WHAT MAKES US STRONGER & BETTER...
Not that Pepsi or others hold the power, but these commercials had the right idea... they hold the real reason we love America The Beautiful -----not just because her countryside, oceans, mountains, lakes & deserts are gorgeous but because her VALUES therefore her PEOPLE Were Beautiful - Inside & Out❣ I'm afraid a lot of us have lost sight of those simple VALUES........I Feel For Our Children & Their Children. That's why I say, "Bittersweet!" 😢
Boy oh boy has the family values and dynamic changed.
Pepsi drinker for life. Coke is to be spat on.
✌
The second commercial jingle was written by Barry Manilow
Barry Manilow had numerous number 1 hits over the years, including "Copacabana".
Coke had the better jingles, but Pepsi tasted better.
VERY GOOD
How many local soda, and regional, soda companies did Pepsi and Coke put out of business with these ads in the 70s and 80s? Some of these local bottlers were so small they were not able to get on supermarket shelves.
Pepsi has had many ad campaigns over the years.
I still love it, but here in Ireland it is mostly only now available in plastic bottles or aluminium cans (and I don't think it tastes the same ?)
You can tell the beginning of the decade from the end - the hairstyles and songs became less and less fun
There is something I will never get. Pepsi and Coca advertised all over the world for the past 100 years. Everyone on the planet has tried each one. We either like it or we don't. Stop the advertising money and lower the price on Coca-Cola
MAN, that dude at 9:55 needs a friggin beer bong for his sugar water
Caffeine is still my drug of choice. 😁👍
What about Mary J? Or Tina? Crystal?
I prefer the Coke commercial about teaching the world to sing in perfect harmony. Yeah, that didn't age well....
Just one question. Who is that tall girl at the dance and who is the girl tossing the baton?
4:44: "Raise a Pepsi up and down it." As a kid, I misinterpreted that as up and down as in "up and down the street" -- not, as I understand it now: raise a Pepsi up and then drink it down. The things we learn as we get older :-).
The "Baton Girl Marching Band" commercial was filmed in Kinston, NC.
Lynn Boyer where is the baton twirling girl now?
Lynn Boyer where are the cheerleaders now?
12:20 prom is from the 80s not 70s.
It still has 70s vibe since it's from 1981
The first Pepsi commercial came from the 1960's.
I want a Pepsi
The boy who sits next to Sam the baseball girl looks like a young Damon Wayans.
Pepsi commercials has change from Britney Spears💖
i was born in 1979 the last year of all of this.
school dance 1981
Still the 70s
I want a PEPSI COKE
0:58
Pandering to specific identities through marketing was always a thing, it seems.
Game Wizard actually I find it discouraging that the early 70s attempts at inclusivity have morphed into - what? We still live in a terribly racist society.
12:26 school dance
