THE SPOTS
Two :30s continue Coke’s "Polar Bears" campaign. "Sledding with Papa Bear" shows cubs perched atop their dad, who doubles as a sled, sliding belly-down along snowy slopes. Their ride ends at the feet of Mom, who presents her polar bear hubby with a bottle of Coke, as the cubs continue to frolic. "Family Carousel" shows Mom and Dad putting each of their furry cubs on a small patch of ice floating peacefully in a glacier pond. One of the adult bears then gently paddles the water, causing the ice patches to move in a circle as if they were a carousel.
"Sledding with Papa Bear" broke Jan. 7, and "Family Carousel" began airing in February.
