CommercialClack – Pepsi: Filled with mold since the swingin’ ’60s

Pepsi. It tastes like mold. And it has since the 1960s. Look at the girl's face in the video when she takes a sip; she practically has to force it down. Why? Because ... it tastes like mold....

“Have you noticed? You hear something new at fountains today. People who think young say ‘Pepsi, please.’ ”

(singing in the commercial) “The lively crowd … today agree … those who think young say ‘Pepsi, please.’ They pick the right one, the modern light one … now it’s Pepsi … for those who think young.”

Tara: What I wanna know is: What is that creepy guy saying to her?

“When you say Pepsi please … you’re putting yourself among … people who like their leisure … with Pepsi the drink that’s young.”

Tara: I can read his lips! He’s saying “Hey baby. I’ve got a party going on in my pants, and you’re invited!”

“Now go ahead … and take the drink … that Pepsi drink …young as you think. You get the right one … the modern light … now it’s Pepsi … for those who think young.”

Tara: Yeah, go ahead and drink it babe. I’m sure there’s no roofie in there.

Michael: Oh. My. Gordness. You’re evil … evil, I tell you. It’s the ’60s…!!! These kids don’t have roofies! But I have to admit … that was pretty funny….

And! The girl the dude is whispering to does seem rather gullible.

Tara: People have always had parties in their pants, Michael. Even in the ’60s. And I prefer to be called Her Majesty of Evil. Plus! Roofies were around then. Called “Valium.” I Googled it.

Michael: You know waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much about that stuff. That’s scary. And that’s all I’m sayin’ about that, “Your Majesty!”

But … the commercial. See that funky look on her face after she takes that first sip? You know why? Because she just realized Pepsi tastes like mold … something I’ve been proselytizing about for years. Then she turns to the gal that sits next to her and whispers quickly “Run!” … but that gal didn’t hear her! She’s doomed!

Tara: Girls rarely heed each others’ warnings when we’re young. It’s sad. And I agree. I sooo prefer Coca Cola. My Mom used to put it in my baby bottle. Ah, sweet nectar!

Michael: Indeed … it is sweet nectar….

But you know what’s not so sweet? The fact the bozo ad agency that put this commercial together raked Ray Charles’ “Makin’ Whoopie” over the coals just to hock Pepsi product. It’s a crime!

Tara: I prefer the Hawkeye Pierce version at the end of the M*A*S*H episode called “Dear Dad … Three.” He’s a dreamboat.

Michael: What…?!? M*A*S*H…?!? What the…?!?!? You make that little love triangle of yours with Gordon Ramsey and Alan Alda known no matter what the subject is you’re talking about … don’t you?

Hellooooooooooooooo! Tara! Commercial! Focus!

So … I gather by the gist of this Pepsi offering older folks are kicked to the curb because they’re not “in the know” about the product. Oh … that ’60s mentality….

Tara: Heesh. Advertisers, magazines, and television! All geared toward the young. But not us! I hope a pack of 80 year-olds are faithfully reading CommercialClack.

Michael: Doubt it. And … you know why?

Tara: Ummmmmm … you think I offended them with the whole “party in your pants” business? Sorry.

Michael: Bingo…!!!

*Pepsi then issues a law suit over this post”

I prefer Jones soda, or any soda that actually has cane sugar instead of corn in it.

. . . . .

Oreo: You mean: They’re going to give me an official law ‘suit’ … just for this post … ?!?!?

I’m excited! Will it be made of wool? Pinstripes? What … ?!?!?

And you’re right: Cane sugar – better. But I’ve never had soda with corn in it.

Corn syrup, yes. Corn? No …

I think it should be a “leisure suit.”

July 17, 2010 at 12:14 AM

Michael, it’s an offshoot of Cream Soda. It’s called Cream of Corn Soda. Pretty tasty, but you can’t really drink it with a straw.

Coming August 1 or so, Pepsi is bringing back Throwback again. Real sugar, hurray! And I guess I like mold, because I prefer Pepsi to Coke. There’s mold in blue cheese; do you eat that, Michael?

July 16, 2010 at 5:21 PM

. . . . .

Pepsi ‘Throwback’ = Pepsi ‘Throw up’

And that’s all I have to say about that.

Yes. I eat blue cheese. Delicious stuff. That’s processed mold under supervised conditions.

Pepsi? When a soft drink tastes like mold and you’re not expecting it, that’s a red flag …

Mold in bleu cheese = Win

Mold in soda = physical and psychological trauma

July 16, 2010 at 12:41 PM

Hmmm, isn’t penicillin made from a type of mold? I guess Pepsi could have other purposes, as with the after affect of parties in the pants.

But all in all..me likes Pepsi!

I have it on good authority that the girls were drinking thru Pixie Stix during the making of that commercial, that’s the reason for the giggly smiles :)

July 16, 2010 at 5:23 PM

I don’t doubt it, bronsont …..

July 16, 2010 at 5:23 PM

. . . . .

It is, Mikki.

But … Pepsi’s not that smart …

July 16, 2010 at 7:36 PM

Yup, I can attest to Rupe repeatedly detesting Pepsi. I grew up on Nehi, for crying out loud. Remember TAB?

July 16, 2010 at 8:33 PM

. . . . .

It’s only ever been one single detestment, Riss. Continuing … ongoing …

Ruprecht <——– ‘TAB’d not

July 17, 2010 at 4:25 PM

TAB was absolutely disgusting stuff! *shiver*

July 18, 2010 at 9:38 AM

. . . . .

Y’know … even the name Jolt is more attractive than TAB.

*shivers in solidarity*

July 16, 2010 at 7:39 PM

. . . . .

‘Leisure suit’ … ???

Yeah. I could go retro like that …

July 17, 2010 at 12:19 AM

I’m from the South, so it’s Coke all the way here. I’m sure you’ve heard comedians talk about how down here it’s not a soda, it’s a Coke. So when someone says they want a Coke, you ask what kind and sometimes the answer is Root Beer or Dr. Pepper.

I’m addicted to Coke Zero. It has replaced my coffee habit. Evil stuff that.

July 20, 2010 at 9:23 PM

. . . . .

“Cream of Corn Soda” *shivers*

“Coke Zero” *shivers new*
