Subject: Sweeta wasn't so bad...
This commercial is wonderfully nostalgic. I was a kid when it was broadcast, and this type of spot seemed alien and scary, much like the original OUTER LIMITS.

Subject: GET YOUR COFFEE GRUBBING HANDS AWAY FROM ME
This comercial fetures a woman who walks down to the cafe and has a cup of coffee and then proceeds to put "two drops" of Sweeta in it. From this description your not really grasping the full concept of this comercial, this ad is CREEPY. Almost evety guys eyes are oggoling at her while she's walking down the street,the eery shooting style (which makes it look as if a peeping tom was shooting this), even the narrators voice has a stalker-esque feel to it, and the final shot where she is, as another reviewer put it, "gang raped" by coffee just seals the deal and makes this a really creepy comercial.

Subject: Just Creepy
A woman walking down the street and is ogled by every guy. Then she sits down for a relaxing coffee, but is coffee ganged rape. You just have to see it to know what I mean.

Subject: She has something, but what?
A pretty young woman walking on a city street gets looked over by an assortment of men as the announcer intones, Sweeta girls have something! The commercial is partly shot with a hand-held camera which gives it an artsy European look. She sits down at a sidewalk café and puts a few drops of Sweeta sweetener in her coffee. And before you know it, everybody wants some Sweeta, too. Sweeta girls have something all right, the announcer repeats. But how safe are these artificial sweeteners? Is it really worth it to forgo a sugar cube for some strange chemical? The people in the café might end up wishing theyd never laid eyes on the Sweeta girl.
