    Sprite Blow Job Ad Shockingly Derivative

    Disappointingly for sex-on-Youtube purists, the fake banned Sprite blow job ad that shook the world to its very (sexy) core yesterday is not the first time that exploding carbonation has been used as a male orgasm metaphor.

    This French Perrier ad was made in 1976 and it is basically exactly the same as the Sprite one, but without the blow job. Just goes to show: there are no new metaphors for orgasms. Sorry.

    Also shocking: the fake Sprite ad had its origins in Williamsburg.
