Hawaiian Punch (1987) - Mark Mothersbaugh

Published on Aug 18, 2009 VintageCG

"Computer-animated commercial for Hawaiian Punch by Omnibus / Abel, circa 1987. Rarely seen is this full 90 second version. If the pop culture of the entire 1980s -- the music, the visuals, the fashions, the hair -- could all be distilled into just a minute and a half, this is the closest you'll find. Music is by Mark Mothersbaugh (of DEVO), who later admitted to embedding a subliminal message: 'Sugar is bad for you.'"
