While the Portland office of Wieden & Kennedy created Coca-Cola's "Video Game" and "Especially Today," a pair of second-quarter Super Bowl XLI ads, the Amsterdam office of Wieden & Kennedy got its turn with "First Taste," also in the second quarter, and this spot in the third.
Coke's final ad of the 2007 Super Bowl gives viewers a fantastical look at the product's journey after a guy plunks his coin into a vending machine. This is a minute-long version of the 30-second spot that actually ran during the game.
