  1. Interesting, Ray Charles sold out for both Coke AND Diet Pepsi. Would've thought there'd be a problem with that, but I guess they were many years apart from each other.

    Diet Pepsi Ad

    The only reason I remember the Diet Pepsi ad is that it relates to the only joke I can ever remember:
    ME: Did you hear Ray Charles lost his left arm?
    YOU: No way, really?
    ME: Yeah. But he's still got the right one, BAY-BAY!
