This Coca-Cola "Taste the Feeling" commercial, from the 2016 Super Bowl, has a huge audience. This commercial targets everyone; specifically teenagers to older adults. The actors and actresses in the commercial are mostly teenagers or people in their 20s to 30s. They have different genders and races showing that everyone should and can enjoy a coca-cola. They showed real-life situations and used emotions to promote and sell their product, which is the purpose. The author, the Coca-Cola company, had it shown on Super Bowl Sunday 2016 because their target audience would be watching and could relate to what was being shown or would wish they could "Taste the Feeling."

Pathos was used the most in this commercial because of the emotions. All the actors and actresses in the commercial are having fun, falling in love, and smiling. They are inviting the audience to "Taste the Feeling" suggesting that drinking a coca-cola makes you feel happy and in love. For example, they say, "Coca-Cola with ice, ice with friends, friends with stories, stories with fire, fire with coca-cola." They relate coca-cola back to each other with different scenarios. In the commercial, they keep describing coca-cola in a continuous circle to remind the audience that that is the product and the main focus. Also, they use the last work, and the first word of the next phrase to help the flow of the commercial. This commercial used emotion to promote and sell their product by referring to others lives or having others wish they could live like the actors.
