LOL.....Pepsi also has a new product coming out: Pepsi Next<br />the tag line for advertising.......<br /><br />DRINK IT TO BELIEVE IT<br /><br />Maybe this was posted already, my apologies...must have missed it.  However, I just saw the banner ad on the front page of YouTube a moment ago....I clicked through to the facebook page:<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/PepsiNext/app_395460040466405<br /><br />I don't know what to think anymore.....surely, it's just a random thing.....isn't it?  Or maybe they are paying tribute to hoaxers everywhere, lol....that was a total joke, btw.  I'd fall over if they highlighted, "lie".<br />Anyways.....just thought I'd post this with the MJ tribute can....that should be interesting to see for sure!  The whole thing about the Pepsi accident being exactly in the middle of Michael's life, was always intriguing to me.  I think you need to use inclusive reckoning, but still....it's way too coincidental.  <br /><br />Blessings Always<br />

Brand marketing just does this: scan and profit from the possibilities for new marketing campaigns linked to emotions. If you cannot link it directly to emotions, make people believe.<br />Change artwork, new sticker here, new display there. Give some "life" to a brand. Make it move.<br /><br />I've seen them guys live - working late into the mornings with their pizza service cartons smelling bad in the chicken battery team office while debating over lotteries for bored housewives and new trends in consumer behaviour analysis.<br />It is far from any mystery, magic or relevance to any specific consumer segment (and not for hoaxers anyway). <br />It is just business for the masses, calculated in ROI, executed by some hoping for a career and higher salary and is planned months if not years in advance.<br />Their achilles heel: they have to be new, unique and deliver $$$.<br />If you wanna make them go  :Pulling_hair: , just don't buy the stuff.

Wasn't the fetal cell line a hoax within a hoax? I can't drink soda ever again, so I'm ignoring it all! Phosphoric Acid, in ALL soda, whether diet or regular, is what dentists use to etch your teeth before placing just about any procedure on your teeth. I've had it with needing anymore worth! Now the old amalgum fillings are leeching, and making me have to tear them all out - and crowning nearly ALL of my poor molars, which started with a teeny, tiny filling when I was a child...Mtn. Dew was my poison.
