Good Strong Coffee
Far-out guys and groovy gals drop doses of good strong coffee in this psychedelic 1968 ad for the hot black stuff.
Good strong coffee is the greatest drug of all, at least according to this power-packed psychedelic cinema promo film shot in swinging 1968. Energetic young hipsters in the latest fashions fuel up on doses of the hot black stuff to keep themselves going while they freak out at a London nightspot. Later, they use it to wake themselves up again before getting it on in a Thames-side flat by dawn's early light.
Little is known about this kaleidoscopic cinema short advocating the use of coffee as a stimulant, other than that it was produced by advertising agency Battey, Barton, Durstine and Osborne. Intriguingly, it does not promote a specific brand of coffee.

You are what you eat? Advertisers have long presented our food choices as much more than just a cure for hunger, but as a key lifestyle decision. The right purchase can help make you who you want to be; keep you and your kids happy, fit and healthy; save you time and keep you on the go; or impress your dinner party guests of your 'home cooking' skills - all as part of a balanced diet, naturally. And for liquid refreshment, try our choice of soft, hard, hot and cold drinks commercials, offering everything from social pick-me-up to elixir of family contentment. Cheers!
