This scene became iconic for a simple reason: bring together two great actors like John Travolta and Uma Thurman, direction by Tarantino, and the fantastic music of Chuck Berry—which remains incredibly relevant even today, some 60 years later—and it was bound to be a huge success.
In 1992, Pepsi gave us one of the sexiest commercials ever put on American television.
Cindy Crawford pulls up to a roadside gas station in a red sports car wearing a white tank top and cutoff jean shorts. Doris Troy’s “Just One Look” is playing as she walks over to the Pepsi machine, buys a can and takes a drink while two boys watch from behind a fence.
The commercial aired during Super Bowl XXVI, and Pepsi was actually introducing its new can design. That was the joke. You think the boys are staring at Cindy until one of them asks, “Is that a great new Pepsi can or what?”
It was only about 30 seconds, but people still remember it more than 30 years later.
I remember Cindy Crawford. I don’t remember paying much attention to the Pepsi can.
Do you remember this commercial?
