Little Jimmy was excited that he’d finally get to carve the Thanksgiving Jack-o-Lantern. Little Jimmy was a dumbass.
The ad copy:
America Pauses to be Thankful!
Thankful…for the family life that is ours in America.
Thankful…for the hope-filled future that is our children’s heritage.
Thankful…for all the bounties our fertile land provides.
Thankful…for all the freedoms we cherish.
Thankful, too, is Coca-Cola that it can share in all these things.
