Fox climbed out of his window into the pouring rain, jumped across cars, and rushed back to his apartment just to get a Pepsi for his good-looking next-door neighbor. Demi Moore went to the ends of the earth also. The Coke Moore was drinking fell out of her window, she crawls along a ledge to retrieve it, then fell down a canopy entrance, and landed next to a gorgeous guy who just happened to be drinking Coke. Always dressed to impress, Spuds Mackenzie, the most famous dog in America, was noted for his surfing, being surrounded by gorgeous girls,and being the best dressed dog in the entire universe. His claim to fame...teeshirts with this lovable dog on the back or the Anheuser-Bush beer label? Some fans were disappointed to learn that the cool dude was actually a girl.
