Soft drinks giant Coca-Cola has parodied Rockstar game Grand Theft Auto for its latest advert, which sees a rugged computer game character spreading the love in a Liberty City-type setting once he'sܫ purchased a bottle of the fizzy drink.

The advertཧ takes place in a computer generated world and begins with a man in a leather jacket - who looks a lot like Fido from GTA III - tearing up the streets in a car and generally causing chaos. This all changes when he stops to buy a Coke as, once he'✅s tasted the combination of sugar and phosphoric acid, his mood begins to lighten.

After leaving the shop, the pop-drinking tough guy then pulls someone from their car GTA style but, rather than beating them up and taking their vehicle, he gives them a bottle of Coke. From then on it's a big love-in as the sun comes out❀, tramps are helped, muggers stopped and happiness is spr♔ead.

All this happens wh𝄹ile the sound of You Give a Little Love from '70s musical hit Bugsyꦛ Malone fills the air.

It's a fun ad and is an interesting twist to see GTA being aped when it's usually Rockstar's game doing the 🌠parodies. to see the ad in full.
