When Gene Wilder accepted the role of Willy Wonka, he had one condition: In his first appearance, Wilder wanted Wonka to limp toward the crowd with a cane in hand before falling into a perfect somersault and jumping back up.
The reason? “Because from that time on, no one will know if I’m lying or telling the truth.”

In the 1980's Pepsi Cola was launched and they did a taste test across the country(USA) asking people to sample their drink against Coca-Cola; surprisingly Pepsi came out on top and for the first in over 100 years Coca-Cola has a serious rival. In the 90's the company made a huge error by changing the taste of it and people hated it, some poured it away on the street outside Coca-Cola's building. They changed it back later calling it Coca-Cola Classic. Pepsi had some high name celebrities advertise their product most notably Michael Jackson(whom you might recall set his hair on fire after a pyrotechnic went off too near him) and the Spice Girls in the late 90's.
Robert Merrill was the man chosen to be the Coca-Cola loving builder that the women in an office lusted after, and 4 years later he is seen rising up on window cleaner's hoist to their delight - He was invited to the National TV Awards ceremony in 1998 and ended up winning an award. He said that when he was doing that second advert, it was shot in December and they spritzed him with water to make it look like he was sweating but all he got was goose-pimples(bumps)
