"The Real Bears" This animated commercial features several polar bears that are meant to be parodies of the famous Coca-Cola polar bears that have been used in their advertising since 1922. This public service ad shows the real story of polar bears (okay, they're talking about people) who drink too much cola and soda drinks. The ad begins with a family of the white bears sitting in the snow drinking their bottles of pop. One of the little bears notices a whale in the ocean and points to it. Everyone ignores him for a while and they just drink their delicious beverages. When the adult bear bends over, however, it rips it's "clothes" (fur?) because it's so fat. They walk home while drinking another soda and see an advertisement for more soda products that just says "Happy!" On their way, one of them sees a fish jump out of a hold in the ice. The little bear is hungry so he decides to go after it, but he's too fat to fit through the hole. Once home, there are more advertisements in the newspaper, and one of the bears has to take an insulin shot (which he takes out of a refrigerator full of cola bottles) because of how fat he is and all the sugar he eats/drinks. Later that night, mom bear is feeling frisky, but dad can't rise to the challenge because his Diabetes causes ED. The next day, the bears are outside with drinks in hand, and a fish jumps up on the snow. The mother bear picks up the fish to eat it, but one of her teeth falls out due to all the sugar and acid in their drinks. After this, the family goes to the hospital because the father's diabetes is causing problems with his foot. The doctor (a snow fox) gets a chainsaw to remove the bear's leg. After the "surgery" the family is watching TV with the dad in a wheelchair. A soda ad comes on telling the bears to "Be happy dammit!" They, of course, listen as the dad wheels his chair to the fridge and gets out drinks for the whole family. They go outside, and seem to have learned their lesson after the father's ailment. They all pour out the drinks because they want to live healthy lives. (Unfortunately, they pour it right in the ocean. While eventually that's where all liquid goes, but it seems like a bad message to send.)
