Yes, I too show religious fealty to [regional brand]. Those Americans with their corporate sanewashing and bombardment of adverts are silly but I'm of course superior because my marketing for [brand] is more sophisticated.
This is a fucking advert for a company that purchases raw materials cheap from ex colonies, shoves them in a bag, and sells it to you for silly prices with the gall to say it's from Yorkshire. Fuck these guys.
How dare he question the glorious natural and historical tea fields of Yorkshire!
My father were a tea miner and me grandad were a tea miner.
I'd be a tea miner meself but there weren't any jobs going, because of THATCHER! *shakes fist in direction of hell*
As long as we've got one drop of Yorkshire Tea left in our bodies, we'll make sure that Thatcher's grave will never dry out. She might have stolen the milk from the schools, but that's not our only source of hydration.
Yeah they should only sell tea grown in the the UK. Best we can manage around here is an awful lot of weed.
At least Yorkshire Weed wouldn't be a lie and it wouldn't involve exploitation from our colonial past.
Pretty sure that the drug manufacturer and distribution involves a certain amount of exploitation
I think you may have some mistaken impressions of the US? I live here but have never heard of a Coca-Cola Christmas truck.
That said, it's not impossible that I'm just oblivious.

Guess I'm oblivious.
The only Christmas-associated truck I've ever seen is the fire truck driving Santa around the town, something that always seems to be enjoyed by the locals.
I know that Coca-Cola associated themselves with Christmas via ... What was it, polar bears? That was already gross, but having a truck driving around for the same purpose seems even more disgusting.
Thanks!
It’s been suggested that the red coat and white edging for Santa’s outfit is completely invented by Coca Cola
I don't know if that's true, but it's very plausible.
Maybe its a east coast thing
I've only left the east coast once in my entire nearly 40 years.
Did you happen to leave the east coast in 1995 and miss the commercial?
As a kid, I was allowed to watch two shows of my choice per week (I chose Power Rangers and Batman: TAS) plus what my parents watched (FRIENDS, Simpsons and Seinfeld). I saw clips of other shows in commercials and such, but didn't really see other shows until approximately 2007.
I didn't really see many commercials until then.
I saw the coca cola truck once on the west coast... of Finland.
A casual place for banter and anything that doesn't fit in anywhere else.
Have chat and a natter. Talk about anything and everything that's not political!
Keep it casual.
