The running gag with all the Coke products is a reference to Mel Brooks' wife and guest star in the movie, Anne Bancroft. In 1963, Bancroft was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for Anna dei miracoli (1962), but was appearing on Broadway in "Mother Courage and Her Children," and couldn't attend the awards ceremony. Joan Crawford convinced Bancroft to let her accept the Oscar on her behalf, so she (Crawford) could upstage Bette Davis, her hated co-star in Che fine ha fatto Baby Jane? (1962), who was also nominated. Crawford, a longtime member of the Board of Directors for Pepsi Co., had never thanked Bancroft for allowing her to do that and hard feelings existed between the two actresses for years afterwards.
