great Sprite commercial

I don't know if this film had the same effect on everyone, but the scene where a wet and thirsty Jim Van Bebber breaks into the convenience store and drinks Sprite like he hasn't had anything in days... I think of that scene EVERY time I drink Sprite or 7up... and thinking of that scene makes me even thirstier. Unlike all the other canned sodas, I can just chug Sprite like no tomorrow - and 100% because of that scene.

Why didn't Van Bebber get into making commercials afterward? At least for Sprite...

It's kind of hard to make commercials when you're constantly on drugs or in jail.

Brain Damage is on my TV right now so your name is appropriate.

Anywya I always thought he was chugging a beer.
