Their TV and radio ads weren't bad either. I thought the musicians were on acid--and 7UP.

The later commercials with Geoffrey Holder were also a lot of fun.

All but the 1st image appear to have come from my online posts (likely Flickr):

Thanks for spreading the word, but crediting the source would have been appreciated.

Many of these giant 21’x10’ billboards and smaller posters are available on eBay during the summer and winter.

It's over a year old, so I'll do a repost next week like it's new and credit you at the top of the article. Sorry.

Thanks,

FYI: “Un Un & Away” (zeppelin) was illustrated by Bob Taylor of JWT in Chicago where “The UnCola” ad campaign was run. This is per an interview I had with Pat Dypold (Bob’s wife).

Bob was an art director and with the campaign from start to finish. Pat did the bulk of the UnCola images.
