    Ok, you know the ad.....the little plastic figure is in awe at the sprite machine in the guys house. Just before little figure says "can a brother get a minute", he says something.

    What is that something?

    It's driving me NUTS.

    :confused:

    "It's just so beautiful".

    "oh no you didnt . cool clean crisp sprite always at your fingertips"
    something like that

    The weird thing is I think the dude with the house introduced the little guy as "Thirst" at the start. What's thirst so happy about? Oh wait, aren't diabetics thirsty all the time? :p

    "Show'em my motto!"

    THAT'S the one that I'm talkin' about.

    I thought it sounded like "show up at my door". Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Neither makes much sense. :D

    I had assumed he was saying 'show up on my door' too! so . . . . . what is his motto?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,090 ✭✭✭jill_valentine


    His motto is the slogan.. I think.... either that, or that ad is surprisingly David Lynchian...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,485 ✭✭✭✭Khannie


    Sooo....just saw a new sprite ad....he says it much clearer in this one....

    It is "show em my motto" (his motto is the sprite slogan.....the toy being "thirst", and sprite quenching it).

    My mind is finally at rest. :)

    Thanks for all the replies.

    Seems to have been a u-turn on sprites original advertising, "Sprite just quenches your thirst" is now replaced with mechanisable nonsensical characters. Amazing how quickly we forget, well thats doublethink for you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,090 ✭✭✭jill_valentine


    I miss the days of the little sun chasing the family down the hallway. That was the best ad I've ever seen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 413 ✭✭karma kabbage


    yes, their old ad's were something that both amused and informed these things are awful. I just hope the campaign ends with thirst suffering a terrible death at the hands of sprite because sprite won't make you cool, it just kills your thirst. (that thing is annoying!)

    I hear you on that! He's an annoying little shight alright. Pity no-one steps on him.

    no carb no sugar no nothing, wtf is in it then?! i'd say it'd be poison.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,641 ✭✭✭andyman


    Coca Cola CO. might just be saying that to get money when it just diet sprite


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 204 ✭✭artvandelay


    A soft drink perfect for the atkins diet, coincidence? I think not.

    Hmm, sounds a lot like tap water. Maybe Coke just re-labeled all those Dasani bottles they have lying around, trying to re-coup the 50 million pounds they lost :D
