Buy a Coke from Charlie Rose!

I thought my run of Coca-Cola cans for the summer of 2014 was done. Coca-Cola had their share-a-Coke campaign, and I listed celebrities who endorsed Coca-Cola. Turns out there were more cans than I expected. Coke Zero released share-a-Coke cans and so did Diet Coke.

2014 Summer Coke Can "Star"

This is means there are far more celebrities to unearth as Coca-Cola folks. So here you go.

I know.  You are like, who is this guy?  Well it's Charlie Rose, a guy who hosts a talk show on PBS. I was watching it the other day, struggling to stay informed with the world, and I noticed the show is brought to us buy the sponsor....Coca-Cola! Buy the world a Coke, Charlie!

Buy a Coke from Elton!

Our next Coca-Cola celebrity is Elton John.  You can see Elton John tickling the ivories about Diet Coke being "the one" here.

"Buy a Coke for a Buddy"

If you notice, outside of Bill Cosby, many of Coca-Cola's celebrities are musicians.  I mean, lets be honest, being able to sing and dance a jingle is a big deal for a soft drink company.  So if you are looking to following in their footsteps and getting your own Coca-Cola endorsement paycheck, you better not flunk out of music class.

Buy a Coke from Taylor!

Our last Coca-Cola celebrity is arguably the most prominent as of this writing.  It's none other than the girl-next-door super star Taylor Swift.  You've probably already seen oodles of her Diet Coke commercials, but you can view a brief one here if you have been late to the party.

"Buy a Coke for a Friend"
2014 Summer Coca-Cola Can

So we've covered Bill Cosby, Whitney Houston, Paula Abdul, and Taylor Swift.  There are others, but I am out of the friendship cans currently, so those celebrities will have to wait.  I hope you've enjoyed these celebrity endorsements.  I'm sure the celebrities enjoyed making them to. Remember, they got paid for them.

Buy a Coke from Paula!

Our next Red-Side-Of-The-Cola-Wars celebrity is Paula Abdul.  Here,you can view a catchy jingle laden commercial of Paula Abdul singing and dancing to the greatness of Diet Coke.

"Buy a Coke for a Legend"
Summer 2014 Coca-Cola Can

Paula Abdul was actually a double-threat for the Pepsi competitor.  While Paula's popularity waned for a while, perhaps making Pepsi executives breathe a sigh of relief, she came into prominence again with the success of the reality show juggernaut America Idol, which was also a big Coca-Cola peddling machine.  It was as if Paula's Coke enthusiasm shined all over again.
