Take the clues one at a time—and if a tune starts up, hum it together.
In July 1971, a new commercial came on between the evening shows. On a hilltop, filmed in Italy, young people from all over the world stood side by side, each holding a bottle, and sang together. The song, “I’d Like to Buy the World a…,” soon became a real hit, and the slogan of those years was “It’s the Real Thing.” Which drink were they holding?
- 7 Up
- Coca-Cola
- Kool-Aid
Need a hint?
