It's more of a male fantasy. The whole point of the ad seems to have fizzled out (excuse the pun). I noticed that in the 90s it was ok for women to be more predatorally sexual - to WANT men lol - the 00s are back to the good old days of women being the object. They could have at least had a sexy guy tho! I LOVED the 90s advert. I wouldn't call it reverse discrimination, more about empowering women, after all the years women have been sexual objects. It's like always portraying white guys as the geek in black hiphop videos. I'm white and I don't find that particularly racist - more as a reversal of roles, just a bit of fun. TV shows/ads always poke fun at one thing or the other and although I was just a kid when it came out I enjoyed watching the older women lusting for the hot younger guy. BRING BACK THE 90s!

This particular advert has become the signal for yuletide to begin. I heard somewhere that Coca-Cola invented the red coat for Santa Claus but that could just have been a self-aggrandising press release. I know the reindeers are German because two of them are called “Donner und Blitzen” so I reckon the Americans couldn’t have dressed Santa. [...] [...] Coca-Cola ramps up the advertising.
