By featuring the commercial atop a green hill with a diverse group of people, Coca-Cola is showing that people of different cultures can come together in harmony, which aforementioned, was what people were looking for at this period in history. Not only the thought of harmony among groups of people, but the song that they sing together melodiously. When the commercial begins we see a young blonde woman begin the song, then she is joined by the rest of the crowd in singing, “I’d like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love…” along with other verses describing animals and pleasantries that would accompany them in furnishing this home. When we think of home, we think of a place where we can be loved and cared for, a place that is peaceful and pleasant (or this is what most people hope for), which is exactly what Coke describes to us as we watch enchanted by the beautiful voices of the people. Coca-Cola connects with us by evoking emotions of belongingness, love, peace and harmony amongst our fellow friends and people. This form of pathos is what really hooks the

In Jib Fowles, Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals, Fowles mentions that, “We consume Mazola margarine because it has “corn goodness” backed by the natural food traditions of the American Indians” (Fowles 10). Consumers use Mazola margarine because it has “corn goodness”. The same idea goes with Coke, it has the same tasting flavor. All consumers want is to taste that flavor when they buy the product. They trust the product and they feel safe when they buy it. In Jib Fowles, Advertising’s Fifteen Basic Appeals, Fowles says, “Nobody in their right mind wants to be intimidated, menaced, battered, and poisoned” (Fowles 10). It’s exactly what it says in the quote, nobody wants to be intimidated by a product. They just want to feel as if the product they buy is not a sort of scam. Being scammed can either be by money, trust, and not feeling safe. Coca-Cola is great at changing the way their consumers believe in their trust.
