I love the Coca-Cola (aka Coke) "Hilltop" commercial and its most famous jingle, "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)/ I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke", which became a popular pop song performed by The Hillside Singers and The New Seekers simultaneously. The original aired in 1971, 4 years before I was born, but I watched it in TV specials in the late 1990s. I love every version, even Coca-Cola Classic's (Coke Classic) "Hilltop Reunion" (1990) and Coca-Cola Zero's (aka Coke Zero) "Rooftop" with G. Love's "Everybody Chill" (2005), except the final one (2015), because of a sad reality. I even love the 2002 spoof made by one of Coca-Cola's competitiors, 7Up. Takes me back to my toddler years.

Great walk down memory lane, i miss those commercials & i miss the first Coca Colas before the started changing it. This wold have been so much nicer if some people hadn't decided to sing the Christmas greeting with negativity and the kind of reality we have everyday. At least they could have left Christmas with peace, love & innocence. Thank you people who refuse to let some memories remain and live on without degrading & slinging your foul mud on them. Did that add an iota of good to that beautiful & gone but not forgotten memory most hoped to see. I hope it will make you live a few minutes longer in you unhappy, love less world.

great stuff

I was a kid but I've never forgot this jingle

The original had beautiful lyrics, "I'd like to teach the World to sing, in perfect harmony, with honey bees .... Trouble is many times we abuse of a good thing, There would be no health problems, if we did not abuse sugary drinks. They are fine once in a while, but not to be drunk several times a day, unless we are sportsmen who burn lots of sugar. The original song promotes unity between mankind, which is sadly so lacking today. We are in danger of another World War. May GOD help us to be in peace, with one another!

And all the US Citizens that Emigrate, does your comment mean their emigration; it's not the "best solution" for the destination countries of those emigrating, would you like to curtail or stop that, too: What about their Hearts, as regards their Home? Are the US Citizens, Foreign Policies and International Development Programmes just so good that it really doesn't matter what US Emigres, Orgs or it's Military do, because: apparently, they'll be unable to do anything other than "help other countries be more successful so they don’t have to leave their home..." ? Are those large numbers of Immigrants who are currently residing in the US, from countries that don't need "help" ie; Russia, UK, Poland, Germany and Canada not representative of diversity because they are all the same colour - should they not Immigrate to the US, due to having different languages and cultures, even though they have the same colour, or does having the same colour make it OK for them, with you? If "Immigration is not the best solution to improve people's lives", what on Earth, and Across The High Seas, were those who sailed in The Mayflower thinking... or those that escaped the Potato Famine in Ireland.. and the Religiously Persecuted and Economically deprived of Mainland Europe... or they who fled Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Communist China and Russia... or the wars in Vietnam, Cambodia and Korea... Or The Ayatollah's Iran... or the dictators of Kuwait, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria... or Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Liberia... or Rwanda, Serbia and Ukraine... Not to mention the countries who were suffering the ruination wreaked by (Euro & US) Capitalism and Colonialism ? WWI & WWII were primarily initiated and fought between people of the same colour, weren't they...? And what of the many Civil Wars between people of the same colour, from Europe, to Africa, to the Middle East; what happened to their peacefully living together? As of June 2016, the State department's consular section estimated that there are 9 million non-military U.S. citizens living abroad,[3][4] an increase from the 4 million estimated in 1999.[5] However, these numbers are often disputed as being underestimated en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emigration_from_the_United_States I realise it may be very difficult for you to see beyond isolation and nationalism because you may've suffered as a result of Immigration or have been taught to value separatism above integration, or both, which i understand is just part of reality. Sadly with Immigration as with all matters their will come those who abuse it and those who are 'just plain bad' - i get that! And you do not have to change your thinking either, of course, neither does anyone have the right to compel you to do so : i would encourage you to look into more solutions, though, because i think your proposal is divisive, shortsighted, unrealistic and contrary to all that is good about Humankind.
