Coca Cola Penguins

The Coca-Cola penguins make their debut when they join the Coca-Cola Polar Bears at the North Pole in the new spot entitled "Arctic Beach Party." In the ad, the bear family is awoken by the sounds of a party accompanied by the Beach Boys tune "Little Saint Nick." While investigating the noise, the polar bear cub slips down a hill into a group of dancing penguins. As the penguins and bears eye one another, a small penguin appears and offers the cub a bottle of Coca-Cola, signaling the bears to join the holiday celebration. I just saw the Coke penguin/Polar Bear commercial. And apart from the fallacies (the two creatures actually being together and not being eaten, and that penguins live in Antarctica and not in the north), I did appreciate one thing. Polar bears are all left-handed. It's a genetic thing. And in the commercial, the baby bear holds the bottle with his left hand (before double fisting it). So the ad execs can get that right, an obscure fact, but not the state of nature. Awesome.
