You try chugging an entire Coca-Cola without belching. Coca-Cola’s iconic 1980 Super Bowl commercial starring "Mean" Joe Greene, the then-defensive tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers, might be one of the most memorable ads ever aired during the Big Game. But the commercial — officially titled "Hey Kid, Catch!" — wasn’t too much of a gas to film. "Mean" Joe Greene, a longtime defensive tackle with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the star of Coca-Cola's 1980 Super Bowl commercial, had once said that drinking all those bottles of Coke left him with a (predictable) problem.
