Corporate Sucking-Up

January 27th, 2009 . by Cary

Or, it is my imagination?

Remember this?

In case you need a reminder, it’s from the late 1940s. The image of Pepsi has gone through some changes of late. The latest change, however, smacks of corporate sucking-up like nothing I have seen before. Pepsi insists it’s a coincidence:

You’ve probably seen this logo already – since it’s all over billboards and the bus “shelters” here in Phoenix, I am sure that we are not the only market that has been saturated thusly.

Now, for the sucking-up part. Or perhaps you have already noticed the similarity?

Just another reason to stick to Coca-Cola products.

    I seem to recall an association that Pepsi recently sponsored wherein they were promoting some aspect of the Obama inaugural or election.

    Co-inky-dink? I think not.

    Jenn – not being a drinker now, but having been one in the past, I don’t blame you.

    BZ – no coincidences, only happenings.

    Amen brother!
    Remember, Pepsi’s CEO was the birdbrain that, in a college commencement address, gave the U.S. the middle finger.
    Coca Cola…
    It’s the REAL thing.
