The Duality of Mooch. Wanna Fanta?

There is this Fanta (soft drinks) commercial around here that drives me nuts in two distinct ways at the same time. It features four women singing, “Wanna Fanta? Doncha wanna, wanna Fanta?” over and over and over again. It is the type of “song” that makes you want to gouge your eyes out with steak knives.

Gouge your eyes out
Doncha wanna
Gouge your eyes out?

I’d rather eat a pound of raw popcorn and sleep in an electric blanket than get that damn song stuck in my head again. But on the other hand, this lovely quartet is rivaled for favorite advertising eye candy only by Kylie Minogue in the Bally’s commercial. The mute button is no longer an option as the song is permanently etched into my psyche and permeates my brain on sight of the commercial.

When these four scantily clad, energetic visions of milk and honey appear, they force me to think of another answer when they ask, “Doncha wanna?”.

Oh yeah. I suuuure do.

As one ad review pointed out, these ads are, well, interesting when you discover that Fanta was invented in Nazi Germany after the government outlawed the importation of important Coke ingredients.

Mmmmmmmmm the Fanta chicks…
