Subject: "ME & My RC" commercials

:-*

Hey everybody!  I used to LOVE singing along to those 1970s commericals from RC Cola: "Me & My RC".  I haven't heard them on TV in many, many years.  I actually remember all the words to one of their ads!  A geeky young man was trying to reunite with his old girlfriend, Mary Lou, but she lived many miles away.  So he hitchiked to get to her, then they both enjoyed a glass bottle of RC cola (yes, soda was sold in those tall skinny glass botltes back then--I miss them too...pop just doesn't taste the same in cans or plastic bottles).  Anyway, for those of you who remember the jingle, here are the words to that one ad I remember:

"Rode forty miles with some chickens in he back of a pick-up truck,
Rode with a man who smoked cigars and charged me half a buck.
Most folks thought I was crazy with nothin' much to do,
But they'd-a hitched a ride with both hands tied if they knew  my Mary Lou.
Me and my RC, Me and my RC.
'Cause what's good enough for other folks
Ain't good enough for
Me and my RC...."

I love those ads!  Anyone else have good memories about those commercials or about the tall 16 oz. glass bottles?   Interestingly enough, I took a trip to Mexico five years ago, and they do NOT have cans....all their soda machines dispense the tall glass bottles like the U.S. had in the '70s!   And today's fast-paced commercials drive me nuts, they are very hard to watch because the scene changes every half-second and very loud music, too.
