This sacrelicious 1960 German TV ad for "Afri-Cola" was the subject of much controversy for its depictions of stoned nuns tripping on sugarwater.
Following its TV broadcast, this commercial was the subject of great discussion: nuns lounge around in an afri-cola rush. It led to a boycott of the Bayerisch Rundfunk, and in a letter, Cardinal Frings mentions afri-cola in connection with the "denigration of the church".
