Awesome Pepsi

Despite its outrageous product placement, Pepsiman was a shockingly fun PlayStation game. Its protagonist was a metal superhero who had to run through towns gathering up cans of its sponsor’s soft drink to save the day. Minimaus Crafts created his own model of Pepsiman using skinny Pepsi cans as his medium.

“You know how to spell Horse?” “I ain’t never made it past H.” Kyrie Irving’s youngblood-slaying alter ego returns. While visiting Miami, Uncle Drew hears that one of his rivals is in town – the sweet-shooting Skinny Walt. Baron Davis’ character needs his own TV show.

We’ve got hoverboards, Nike powerlaces, and now the latest 10/21/15 prophesied product from Back to the Future II is upon us. Pepsi will be making just 6,500 bottles of Pepsi Perfect, and they’ll sell for about $20 each. Now we just need the Cubs to make the World Series.

Pepsi set up a nighttime street soccer match in Barcelona. The court and the buildings around it had a drone referee, interactive LEDs, and projection-mapped scoreboard and visual effects, including a cheeky moving goal.

American restaurant chain Arby’s is contractually obligated to include Pepsi in at least two of its commercials per year. With 2014 winding down, the agreement nearly went unfulfilled. How do we know? Arby’s snitched on itself.

Kyrie Irving’s alter ego tries to recruit his fellow point guard Lights, but the man’s wife won’t allow it. They need to teach the youngblood though, so they go out and ball anyway. Also starring Nate Robinson and Maya Moore.

Basketball legend Bill Russel asks Uncle Drew to get his old team back together to teach the young blood a lesson. Drew’s first recruit is Wes, a tall sharpshooter. Does Wes still have it?

Daizi Zheng’s green cellphone concept has a biobattery that uses enzymes from carbohydrates in drinks like Coke or Pepsi to generate electricity; it also has a biodegradable handset. (Thanks Josh!)

If you’re looking for something calming to wash down that can of Pepsi Strong Shot, you might want to try a bottle of this yogurt-flavored oddity which turned up a while back on shelves in Japan.

This new drink from Pepsi Japan has extra caffeine, but what makes it unique is its extreme carbonation. There’s even a warning label that recommends you wait 15 seconds before gulping.
