I’m sure many readers remember the “Fantanas”, which were Fanta’s attempt at using sex appeal to sell flavored soda. There have been a few different changes to the line up of Fantanas, but to me the originals were always the best, especially the red one (who’s actual name is K.D. Aubert… the walking Viagra pill). But it never occurred to me that in other countries, marketing directors may have gone in other directions to try and sell Fanta… until I saw the old school Japanese ads. The set of ads for Fanta below were all exclusively created for the market in Japan, and feature a different direction than the ones I was used to growing up. That being said, I don’t think I’ve laughed as hard ever in life. Check the method below, and keep in mind that there are TONS more of these ads scattered around the web.
