I'ld Like to Buy the World a Coke (SundayX)





I'ld like to buy the world a coke this SundayX ✨✨✨

"I'd like to buy the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company
(That's the real thing)
What the world wants today
Is the real thing"

-Coca-Cola jingle later released as a full length song by The New Seekers in 1971. 

Doesn't this song take you back in time?

It does me, I was a little girl when I heard it for the first time.

We are so imprinted by everything around us: books, music, movies, witty jingles like this. 

I have no doubt hearing this jingle over and over on loop in the background of my formative years imprinted me deeply. 

I don't think that's a bad thing either—
To have a lasting and lifelong desire to live in a world with all of us at peace & living in harmony with each other. 

For the most part? 

As best we can?

I'm talking optimistically here, there's always hope...✨✨✨

For this World Friendship day I wish I could buy all of you a coke!

I am my most authentic self online and much to my surprise I've found others okay with a dork like me. 😂

Here is where I let my odd ball personality run free unchecked and you guys accept me as I am—

And for that I extend my heartfelt gratitude with a virtual coke!!!

What jingles still run through your heads from yesteryear?
