breather: a commercial dissection

mood:
i have decided to take a breather post from all the wed preps. i've been blabbing and blabbering all about the wedding. i do have other thoughts, you know. hee!
now, i'm not much of a couch potato. especially recently! when i do decide to veg in front of the telly, i usually stay with the movie channels. but i finally chanced upon the commercial of coca-cola that everyone's been raving about. the one with the girl in a red shirt singing while handing out bottles of coke to people on the street. if you haven't seen it, here's a link to it.
i love the commercial too! the girl has a beautiful voice, the song is very relaxing, the lyrics are good, and i like the overall concept. but i gotta ask this: where does she get all the bottles?
she had a total of 8 bottles (yes, i counted). i hardly think all 8 bottles would fit in that bag she had. believe me, i played and re-played the video and at the very start, you see her bag isn't big at all. at least not big enough for 8 bottles of coke. furthermore, all bottles were already open when she gave them. so you mean these open coke bottles were in her bag while she was walking? wouldn't they have spilled?
the pretty girl and the beautiful voice have probably diverted your attention from these important and significant details. teehee!
here's my take on this infamous commercial:
she had a midget with her.
seriously, it makes sense. hear me out. the 8 open coke bottles won't fit in her bag. that's because the bottles were actually NOT in her bag. she had a midget companion who had the 8 bottles in a push cart, and was opening the bottles and handing them over to her. she, in turn, would hand them over to the people on the street. you don't see the midget, because the camera is focused too high. had the camera panned lower, this is what you would have seen...
makes sense, right?
this is what happens when you have time on your hands and you're trying desperately to keep your mind off pressing matters...
