Five Alive was a juice drink I used to love. This summer, I was reminded of this magical elixir while waiting for a Ferry Boat in British Columbia, Canada. They had it listed on the soda machine and I ran to get a cold can.
Sadly, it was all out. What a disappointment! I could have partaken from a host of other soft drinks, but I had my mind set on Five Alive.
Oh well, at least I was able to pick some up when I got home. Although, drinking it there lacked the ad-like refreshing spontaneity conjured up in this commercial.
No doubt riding on the heels of the immensely popular movie 9 to 5, this commercial for Five Alive hits us right in the taste buds!
It appears that Nancy has hit a wall at the office and needs a little pick me up! Thankfully, her sassy coworkers are there to inject a little vitamin C. After all, typing takes a LOT outta ya!
This commercial reminds us of the abundance of multiple citrus fruit juices you get when you drink Five Alive (or miss getting some). Remember, though, it’s all fun and games until the boss catches you screwing around.
In the U.S. Five Alive was once widely available, but now has limited availability. It widely distributed in Alabama, Canada and in the UK, in both a plastic bottle and aluminum can.
It now has 7 different variations, but I prefer the original that contains orange, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, lime. So much citrus!
