Here’s an ad that’s generating a bunch of icky reactions. Rekindling It phobias and sparking court jester jokes, apparently Pepsi will add a little (too much) color to lives that would otherwise fade into grayscale.
How in hell did this get past the pitch room? Maybe somebody thought lips in brand-colored trappings would be a natural nod to the distinctive Pepsi logo. And because we know somebody’s going to step forward and go, “Hey, guys, obviously it worked because people are talking about it,” we’re going to roll our eyes in advance and STFU.
