Coke Commercial Mimics Frisbee Community

This new Coca-Cola commercial shows drinkers in the activity of throwing disc-shaped objects (the Coke bottle cap) similar to what students did with empty pie tins. Commercial highlights include a few fingertip grabs and a surfer layout reminiscent of the "boat catch" from Brodie's bridge throw.

Watch video below & then compare concepts.


Comparison of a man jumping from moving buoyant device to catch a flying disc & landing in the water:
