Who the heck is the target audience?
The Fat dude spitting does not make me want to try Sprite remix.
And for that matter, Billy Ray doesn't make me want to try Orange Glow, or Oxy clean or any of that crap either, but it is not nearly as bad as the fat dude with the record in his mouth.

Sprite remix is a disgusting soda; I had the gall to pick it up at the gas station the other day.

Hah, yeah its stupid.

I was in a movie theater and they played the commercial. The people in front of me, 2 40+ years olds, and 2 70+ year olds, were commenting on it to eachother. The 40ish year old male asked the same question. "They obviously arent targeting me, a middle aged overweight balding man, so who are they targeting?"

I'm boycotting Sprite.

Number 1, they endorse Kobe, thus they endorse the Lakers, and I want no part in that.

Number 2, Sprite is all about doing your own thing...being original and all that crap. But then in their commercials they are so like trendy it pisses me off. I just hate sprite

I'm not usually too "political" when it comes to using certain products, but when a company endorses ANYTHING to do with the Lakers, they have stepped WAY over the line. I'm sorry, but it's a zero-tolerance rule.

Number 0, it is too sweet and very little flavor.
Number 3, the same company makes coca-cola, and we know the caffiene in that stuff can cause us to evolve far quicker.

The guy in that commercial is Biz Markie. Part of the legendary Juice Crew and maker of the song "Just A Friend."
