Cola Turka is a Turkish[1] cola brand that is also sold in Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cuba, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Canada.[2]
TV commercials
Two television commercials for Cola Turka (which are presented more like short-subject comic films) feature American actor Chevy Chase playing a confused American who notices his friend, wearing a stereotypically American cowboy hat, using some peculiar words from Turkish culture while drinking a can of Cola Turka.[3] Upon Chase's character drinking Cola Turka in the second commercial, he spontaneously displays Turkish traits like saying Turkish idioms, singing a Turkish folk song, and in the final part of the second commercial, unexpectedly sporting a mustache. The commercials were filmed on location in New York and are in English with Turkish subtitles.[4]
