RIP Ad Man Bill Backer – IOTW Report

RIP Ad Man Bill Backer

The man who gave us “Miller Time” and told us “Soup is real food,” passed away recently.

He will go down in history as the man who taught the world to sing in perfect harmony in 1971.

The Coke ad Here

I like to think of that ad as the signal that the Hippie movement was dead because when they start using your imagery to hawk stuff, you’re no longer counter-culture.

  1. So he made tons of money brainwashing people. Meh.

    Never liked the Coke ad — too much kumbaya and “one world order” even in the 70s.

    Besides, if you’re from Atlanta it’s not Coke — it’s Co-cola.
