That Coke commercial was the first and biggest shot across the bow of the counterculture, appropriating the 60's counterculture inclusionism and peace and love mentality to sell SHIT. and it ran for 26 years.
It meant that Don (generic ad man) Draper will and does use anything and everything that happens to him to lie to people so they buy product.
