I remember pepsi clear, pepsi free, I loved all teh pepsi flavors yum yum

pepsi light with lemon twist.loved it!!

I've never liked pepsi, not even now, but the pepsi light was THE best "diet" coke. absolutely LOVED it!!

We used to served us a bottle of regular Pepsi cola at the tavernas where we ate in Greece. Because the soda was a bit sweeter; we had to drink it with a slice of lemon (the lemon dissolved some of the sugar; giving the soda a lemony flavor).

From the prime time TV vault, a Diet Pepsi commercial filmed in Rome. The Bob Crewe "Girl Watchers" theme music is heard. Slogan: Something to watch for. This aired on "Lost In Space" over CBS (3/29/67). Season two of this sci-fi classic was loaded with childish humor. Episode has an alien, in all red with hideous head, imprisoning Dr. Smith, the Robinson girls, and Don West, replacing them with robot replicas (John and Maureen are away). Will and the robot are tasked with training the replicants to function like the real ones. The Judy and Penny replicants sing "Frara Jacqua," led by the robot. Replicant Smith is worse than the real one. Alien was played by Alan Hewitt, who also was Detective Brenner on "My Favorite Martian."

On the Chicago scene. From April, 1970, a Pepsi radio spot with new music. "You've Got A Lot To Live, Pepsi's Got A Lot To Give" being the slogan. Airing on WCFL from Marina City, the 10PM (CT) hour with the madman, King B Ron Britain as host. His act mellowed somewhat since 1966, but he still relied heavily on sound bites as part of his schtick. Shortly after, the Fortunes' "Real Thing" Coke ad is on. Also, Life savers and CTA (public transit).

From the prime time TV vault, a Pepsi Light commercial with slogan: "All the Lemony Flavor In, Half the Calories Out." Cans and eight packs of bottles shown. This aired on "Welcome Back, Kotter" over ABC (9/16/75). In an early episode, Kotter is vilified by the Sweat Hogs for giving Washington a (deserved) failing mark on a test, disqualifying him from the basketball team. Mr. Coffee with Joe DiMaggio among other sponsors. Network promos for "Happy Days" and "When Things Were Rotten."

On the Chicago Scene. From May, 1966 on WCFL radio, a Pepsi commercial with Joannie Summers ("Come Alive! You're In the Pepsi Generation"), as aired on the Jim Stagg (late PM) program. A time when Disc Jockeys could stretch the humor to a certain length (long as content was kept clean). One feature was the periodic traffic report. On Stagg's show, it was done in a way now pegged as taboo or offensive. A computer-generated (and sensuous) female voice announced the traffic congestion, calling herself "Trooper 36-24-36." It was accepted back then. By 1967, it was scrubbed, and a normal announcer did traffic. WCFL's "VIP" lineup in 1966 included veterans Joel Sebastian, Madman Ron Britain and Wild Child/Teen Idol Barney Pip.

An oldie but a goodie from the prime time TV vault, a Pepsi commercial with teens in a soda shop drinking Pepsi. For Those Who Think Young and Say Pepsi, Please! This aired on "Hootenanny" over ABC (7/13/63). Alka Seltzer, One-A-Day vitamins and Pall Mall cigarettes also sponsored. Network promos for "Leave It to Beaver" and "My Three Sons." Ad Council PSA for College Fund. 43 episodes of "Hootenanny" were taped at various college campuses. This folk-music show was anything but smooth. The host, Jack Linkletter, was the least of the show's problems. The boycott by several popular groups protesting the network's ban on Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. The real killer was the British Invasion a year later.

From the prime time TV vault, a young couple sailing on a skiff in this Pepsi commercial. Awaiting them on the beach, a cooler filled with ice and bottles of Pepsi. For Those Who Think Young. This aired during "Twilight Zone" on CBS (10/25/63). Other sponsors: Polaroid, Arrid deodorant and Crest toothpaste Network promos for "Jackie Gleason American Scene Magazine" with Gleason and Frank Fontaine. also, "Garry Moore Show." Ad Council PSA for Keep America Beautiful.

From the prime time TV vault, Pepsi's new slogan: "You've Got a Lot to Live, Pepsi's Got a Lot to Give" in a commercial set at a dude ranch. This aired during the "Paul Lynde Show" on ABC (9/27/72). Close-Up toothpaste, Alka Seltzer and Arrid deodorant were other sponsors. Network promos: "Brady Bunch" and "Partridge Family." Paul Lynde played an uptight lawyer who seemed to find more solace in his liquor cabinet than in his family. Whenever Paul reached for a bottle, his 13 year old daughter (Pam Ferdin) uttered a wise crack about his excessive drinking. A mixed message this show sent. Paul the lawyer had a wife and older daughter, who married a freeloading college student. Antenna TV airs reruns Sundays at 5:30 AM (CT).

From the prime time TV vault, a Pepsi commercial featuring average people drinking it from different points within New York City, ending in Yankee Stadium. "You've Got A Lot to Live..." jingle recently replaced "Beats the Others Cold." This aired during the "Andy Williams Show" on NBC (10/4/69). Burlington Industries, Chevrolet, Anacin and Libby Foods among other sponsors. Network promos for "Red Skelton" and "Laugh-In." Hoping to attract a younger audience, Andy Williams and company invited more "flower power" rock groups to appear. Other than Williams lip-synching his classic tunes, the traditions set by his 1963-68 show disappeared. A weekly comedy feature was a visit by the Cookie Bear (Andy Blye), only to have Williams slam the door in his face. Aired on Saturday night, the summer (1970) replacement show starred nutty Ray Stevens, perpetrator of such weird songs like "Gitarzan" and "The Streak." Williams used "Happy Heart" as his show theme. Stevens used "Everything Is Beautiful."

On the Chicago scene RIP Ron Britain, the legendary DJ known also as King B. Heard the news of his death on WGN. Tragic. His wife died days earlier of natural causes. Report was that Britain committed suicide, unable to deal with wife's passing. Both were in their mid 80s, residing in Louisville, KY. Britain's radio career started around 1958, but not in Chicago until 1965 at WCFL. One of his favorite commercials was for Pepsi, with Joannie Somers singing the "Come Alive" jingle. The first few years, Britain relied on clever use of sound bites to augment his daily broadcasts. A wild and crazy guy (on radio) for the times. By 1971, Britain was on the easy-listening WIND, and his on-air persona had mellowed to suit the station format. In 1979, Britain returned to WCFL as the morning drive jock. Success was modest, up against the likes of Larry Lujack (WLS), Wally Phillips (WGN) And controversial Steve Dahl with Garry Meier (WLUP, the Loop). Fred Winston replaced Britain in 1981. Oldies station WJMK-FM was a later job for King B (1985-90). Excerpts of Britain's radio work are on YouTube.

On the Chicago scene. A radio commercial for Pepsi Light on WDHF-FM, with a jock calling himself Captain Whammo, from May, 1976. Pepsi Light had a lemon addition, half the calories of regular Pepsi. WDHF was a top 40 radio station that ran some crazy TV ads. Most notable, several young people being hit in the face with pies. Another cool commercial on radio was for Playback, the Electronic Playground. This chain sold pricey sound equipment, and was in business, roughly, 1972 to 1984. Toward the end of 1976, WDHF became WMET, an album-rock station which lasted into the mid 1980s.

On the Chicago scene. For two bucks, I picked up a piece of Chicago radio history at one of my favorite antique malls (yeah, they're still open) in Gurnee, Illinois. A WCFL singles and album top 10 survey. One side, a Pepsi ad showing a young lady eating and holding a bottle. The other fourth, a picture of (Super) WCFL morning jocks Dick Saint and Doug Dahlgren. Dated 2/21/76. A month later, Dick & Doug, along with most of the station's on-air staff, would lose their jobs as AM 1000 would change from top 40 to elevator music. The last man standing, Super Jock Larry Lujack, remained for six months to play that elevator music. Lujack had been under contract with WCFL since the sweetheart deal that abruptly lured Super Jock away from his plum job at WLS in mid 1972. Instead of bowing out gracefully, Dick and Doug staged a childish rant on their last day on air (3/16/76).

On the Chicago scene. A radio blooper moment as a Pepsi Light commercial aired during the nationally syndicated "Steve Dahl Breakfast Club" from June of 1980. The commercial ran during a local station break on Chicago's WLUP, The LOOP. Co-host Garry Meier utters, "Poopsie Light, one calorie and a hint of lemon." Meier quickly apologized, but Dahl broke out in laughter. known for his raunchy parody songs with Teenage Radiation, plus the previous year's Disco Demolition debacle at White Sox Park, Steve Dahl was constantly in and out of hot water during a 30-year career at various Chicago radio stations.

From the prime time TV vault, the commercial variant of a helicopter unloading a Pepsi vending machine on a beach. Bikini-clad girls grab all the Diet Pepsi bottles. This aired during "Hootenanny" on ABC (12/14/63). Lucky Strike cigarettes, One A Day vitamins, Alka Seltzer, Beech Nut gum and Philco TV sets among other sponsors. Network promos for "The Fugitive" and "Patty Duke Show." Episode includes one of Glenn Yarborough's last appearances with the Limelighters folk group. Host Jack Linkletter interviews Woody Allen. The British Invasion and a repetitive troupe of performers (backlash from the Pete Seeger/Communism issue) spelled out "Hootenanny's" end after 16 months.
