Whatshername Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 A new ad released in the Philippines by Coca-Cola has amassed more than 1 million views in just days — and about halfway through the video, it becomes clear why. The ad, published on YouTube Thursday, shows a series of individuals answer one question: who are the people you say thank you to everyday? Each person reveals the special person they appreciate in their hectic lives: a driver, a grocery bagger and an apartment security guard. Then the individuals admit that they don’t know know the names of these people. In the second half of the three minute commercial, the ad then shows the individuals say thank you to the people they appreciate by handing them a personalized Coca-Cola bottle featuring their name. It’s unclear how the documentary-style ad was filmed, or how the individuals learned the name of the people they appreciate, (AdWeek suggests it was staged), but it has nonetheless warmed the hearts of thousands on the Internet. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nadita Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Wow... that hits home with me... it's true we don't take time to know people's names even though we thank them quite often. The guy in glasses hit home with me.. when he was asked what's the parking lot attendants name.. he smiled and you can see the smile faded and he felt the conviction. I hope we can learn from this and say thank you and pay attention to people's names. I usually read the name tags and from today on, I will say thank you and make sure I say the name that is on the name tag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
