*Spoiler alert*

The series finale of AMC's "Mad Men" was Sunday night, and the final scene of the show paid homage to an Atlanta staple: Coca-Cola--specifically, the soda company's  iconic "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" ad from 1971.

The show's main character, Don Draper (played by Jon Hamm), is responsible for the ad. (All the time he spent in Atlanta shooting "Million Dollar Arm" must've really had an impact on him.) In actuality, the ad was written by Bill Backer, the lead creative on the Coca-Cola account for McCann Erickson advertising agency. Below, social media users shared their thoughts on the closing scene with the "Twitterverse."

What are your thoughts on the finale, specifically its use of the iconic Coca-Cola ad?
