Pepsi: What Are You Drinking?
.jpg)
Stuck in traffic this afternoon, I was on Mass. Ave. driving from Cambridge to the Expressway. I saw this billboard and was completely dumbfounded. What does this mean?
SODYPOP. Is that supposed to be cute? I'm not the only one with a less than positive reaction. However, as much as I found it annoying, I couldn't stop myself from taking a picture.
Pepsi has apparently gone through a lot with their new logo. Oh, and if you click onto the Pepsi website, depending upon where you are and whether or not you have headphones on, you may want to turn down the volume.
Well, if they were just seeking chatter, buzz, and hoping to go viral, I guess they've succeeded. Whether that translates into increased sales, I don't know. But some people are saying to pass them a Coke.

I prefer to drink plain water most of time and if I have a choice.
Have fun watching Super Bowl! :)

Regardless, I'm not a soda/sody drinker. But Pepsi's not very stupid, are they? They got free advertising here, didn't they?
You buzzed them up! ;-)
Yes, Anali gave some free advertising here, but for Obama not Pepsi.
Their Superbowl commercials were weird too. They're just trying too hard.
asha - I'm not a big soda drinker myself. I prefer water too or juice, lemonade, iced tea, something like that. Every once in a while I do like orange soda or root beer though. : )
ron-newman - Thanks!
Gitamba Saila-Ngita - Welcome! I didn't think it was possible, but their McCruber spots on SNL were even more annoying than the billboards. They do know how to get noticed though.
dmarks - Well, Obama already won, so that ship has sailed. But the logos are pretty similar. They do have a whole Obama campaign thing happening on their website too.
And I sent you an email about the photo. It's fine to use it and it's on flickr.
los angelista - I don't get it. Maybe they are just trying to be really odd, so that everyone will chat about their weirdness. If so, it worked.
