A TV ad for the Oasis fruit drink has been pulled by Coca Cola following complaints from viewers.
The Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) upheld more than 30 objections to the commercial, saying it should not be aired again in its current form.
The ad features young lovers Cactus Kid and Cactus Girl, who elope after she falls pregnant.
The ASA said in a statement: "We considered that because the ad could be interpreted to condone underage sex and teenage pregnancy, the innuendo was inappropriate and likely to cause serious or widespread offence."
Coca-Cola said it did not mean to upset viewers, adding that the commercials are aimed at people in their 20s who would like the "edgy humour".
