During his Coca Cola advertising era Max Headroom made a commercial where he pops up in an 80s arcade and tells a kid to practice drinking coca cola..

I have this in my playlist of vintage videos to play in the background on the CRT in the Kama Arcade! 😅💜🕹️

A thing that is funny about Max Headroom being used to hock Coca~Cola is that Max Headroom was a cyberpunk dystopia TV series written to criticize network television and the society that it was fostering.

So, nostalgia aside this was basically corporate appropriation and doing what the antagonists in the series wanted Max Headroom to do but he wouldn't because his intelligence was emergent and based on Edison Carter's and he was a free spirit who thumbed his nose at the corporate state!
