The coolest thing I’ve seen in a very long time

I found this super cool ad from the 40′s on Hareega’s blog, and dude, it’s a Coca Cola advertisement from the 40′s. What the hell. It’s so weird its trippy.

The shadow play (although the bottle did not yet have its signature “curves”), the cool Egyptian actors, the hard-core Arabic accent pronouncing “Coca-Cola”, and the fact that Coke wasn’t popular in the Arab world till half a century later… Sooo cool.

Wow. I’m in awe. I could watch that forever.

Nancy Ajram or anonymous blacc-and-white Egyptian chick?

    WOW … that is one cool ad …

    But that is not anonymous … she is a singer that became known when she got a bit older and her name is Maha Sabri … I believe I am not mistaken about her identity :)

    Nice one from you and Hareega …
