Image | Title | Description |
---|---|---|
Nutty Bird strums on a guitar.
Nutty Bird: (sings) I sing the praises of Royal Crown Cola! Sour Bird: I hate folk singers with a message. Nutty Bird: It is such a wow, you should buy some now! Sour Bird: Great lyrics. Nutty Bird: Royal Crown is its name, it's got quick-fresh energy, and you'll love RC like me! Sour Bird: Is that the end? Nutty Bird: There is no end to the praises I sing of Royal Crown Cola! Sour Bird shakes his head as Nutty Bird keeps strumming. | ||
Nutty Bird downs a bottle of RC Cola.
Sour Bird: That Nutty Bird is always drinking Royal Crown Cola. Nutty Bird: Oh, boy! Was that great! Talk about quick-fresh energy! Wow! Sour Bird: Hey, Nutty Bird. Why do you always drink RC Cola? Nutty Bird: I don't always drink RC Cola. Only when I'm thirsty. But you know what? Sour Bird: What? Nutty Bird: I'M THIRSTY! Nutty Bird cracks open another bottle of RC Cola, laughing hysterically. | ||
Nutty Bird rummages happily through a pile of Save-a-Seals.
Nutty Bird: Oh, these Save-a-Seals are great! Sour Bird: The Nutty Bird there is excited because he gets a Save-a-Seal under the cap of each Royal Crown Cola, the quick-fresh energy drink. Nutty Bird: Oh, rapture sublime! Nutty Bird falls backwards into the heap of Save-a-Seals. Sour Bird: Each Save-a-Seal is worth a penny. You save 'em up, and send 'em in for cash. Nutty Bird: Look, I'm rich! RICH! Sour Bird: How'd you get so many? Nutty Bird holds up a bottle of RC Cola. Nutty Bird: I drink a lot! |
