One of the most famous Coca-Cola TV commercials in history, which first aired in September 1979, starred NFL Hall of Famer "Mean Joe Greene" and a little boy named Tommy Okon. This iconic TV spot has been credited in starting the athlete endorsement craze in advertising and has spun off many imitators and recent updated versions, including fellow Pittsburgh Steeler star Troy Polamalu. But just like Coke, nothing beats the original.
