[net.tv] Diet Coke is for winners?

mazur@inmet.UUCP (01/24/85)

Anybody notice the Diet Coke commercial that the networks were showing 
during the Super Bowl?  The theme music was the "it's one of a kind", 
and the footage showed clips of the Dolphins and 49ers throughout the
season.

Right after the game was over, I noticed on CBS that they showed a Diet
Coke commercial mostly the same, except it had only 49ers clips!

I guess they had two commercials, and were prepared for either outcome.

  I seem to recall that ABC did something similar a few years back with one
of Muhammad Ali's last fights.  Had Ali won they were going to close the show
by playing Bob Dylan's song "Forever Young", but since he lost ABC played a
Bob Seger tune, "The Famous Final Scene".  How poignant!! :-)
