          You think it’s an 8 or 9up?

          Education is extremely important.

                  I'm pretty sure there's a Snow White joke in there somewhere.

                  I was only joking

                        Not only do I remember the commercial but also know the actor's name. He was Geoffrey Holder, the same person who played Baron Samedi in the Bond film, Live and Let Die. The commercial came out after the movie's release presumably to capitalize on the familiarity of the actor's voice and sardonic laugh which highlighted the Bond character he had earlier portrayed.

                          I remember him too, and I remember that laugh.
