Everybody hates Pepsi

A Pepsi Parody by Lawrence Yang that I found while watching Jake&Amir

I've always been more of a Coca Cola fan than a Pepsi fan. Honestly because it's less sweet and has more bubble action going on in the nice bottle shape they have. But lately, everyone seems to be hating anything that Pepsi does with their brands! I looked over the "breathtaking pdf" document this morning that Arnell supposedly spread around online as a viral. (Many people say it is a hoax though.) No offense, but quite bluntly, the 27 pages all scream BULLSHIT to me. How can you find linkage of Leonardo da Vinci and the golden ratio with Pepsi's 2009 plastic surgery? Seriously.

Here is a story my friend was telling me about her dad, who called her at the supermarket very confused because he thought that Tropicana had disappeared alltogether in supermarkets everywhere. It was like the whole brand just disappeared overnight. "It was just here last week when I bought my juice!" And I don't blame him at all, because I had to do a wide-eyed double take the first time I ever saw the new packaging sitting there in my refrigerator, just chillin (haha). I actually thought it was a bootleg that we bought from Waldbaum's by accident. It was just way too much of a drastic design change... I mean come on now: how can you take the straw out of my beloved juicy orange?!!

Even the Tropicana website has been redesigned to mirror the new do. And the original super cool tropicanapure.com microsite is no more either :'( The little apostrophe is there in my emoticon because I had helped out on the initial pitch of it when I was at e79. I guess that is just life, tough oranges. I wonder what will be the next front page...?
