Heineken has released an ad thatās being described as a less stupid version of what Pepsi was trying to do with their Kendall Jennerās āthe resistance will the commercializedā campaign. Unfortunatelyāand try not to not to be too shocked hereāit is still true that a company whose only goal is to sell beverages may notā¦
Kendall Jenner will continue to exude radio silence on the matter of her explosively dumb and controversial Pepsi ad at Coachella.
Citizens, let me remind you that even your own Judge Brown is not immune to her civic duties. I spent the morning at jury duty unable to try these important shade cases until later than usual. But I have returned and am back to slowly cranking this equally important wheel of justice.
I may never drink Pepsi again. Not because of its new, terrible, andāas of press timeāpulled Kendall Jenner āresistanceā-themed advertisement, but because itās a trash soda that makes it feel like my teeth are about to fall out. Besides, co-opting the movements of the counter culture is an advertising tradition that,ā¦
Like any major incident the Kardashians/Jenners find themselves involved in, Kendall Jennerās Pepsi Short Film Controversy (or KJPSFC, as itās come to be known) has started a countdown in the minds of the showās most rabid fans (including myself), as they await to see how E! will handle the drama in a future episodeā¦
After being roundly panned for a heroically tone-deaf and appropriative ad in which Kendall Jenner, social justice warrior, initiates world peace by handing a can of soda to a curiously underdressed cop, Pepsi has issued a few statements to clear the air. This was clearly tough, given that Pepsi is still the sameā¦
In case you needed a reminder that corporations donāt care about you, that #TheResistance is already being co-opted as a marketing scheme, and that Kendall Jenner cannot act, Pepsi has released a very bad commercial to jog your memory.
Pepsi announced several weeks ago that theyāll be stripping the aspartame from Diet Pepsi. However, theyāre gonna keep selling the old formula online. For those of you who just canāt get enough of that weird chemical taste, yum yum!
Hark the bells, the 90ās soda revival continues unabated. Well, maybe.
With Americans increasingly skeptical of high-fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners alike, what's a soda company to do? Well, Pepsi and Coke both want to sell us on new "natural" drinks made with sugar stevia, instead. Don't you feel better about those liquid calories?
Even though a health risk has never been found before, the FDA is conducting a study regarding the safety of caramel coloring. You know, the stuff in Coke, Diet Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Root Beer and Brisk iced tea. Uh oh.
Look, I'm not stupid enough to believe that BeyoncƩ drinks soda, but I do believe that she can, sorceress-like, conjure doppelgƤngers of herself to dance with and shatter a room full of mirrors with one whip of her hair. No question.
If you're one of those people who loves Diet Pepsi because of the smooth, unadulterated taste of pure aspartame, I've got some bad news for you. Consider your shit adulterated. The Pepsi corporation will now be sweetening its weird brown water substitute with a combination of aspartame and delicious acesulfameā¦
Oh, man, wouldn't it be great to glug unlimited Pepsi AND get your fats blocked!?!? Well, the good folks at Pepsi-Cola Japan are introducing a new product for just that purposeāa refreshing cola beverage that "blocks" your "fats" with "fiber," just like Gandalf on the Bridge of Khazad-dĆ»m. "Pepsi Special" contains anā¦
In an effort to educate consumers about the stark realities of carbonated syrup, soda giants are rolling out new vending machines that will prominently feature calorie counts. Coke, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper will all launch their new machines in 2013, and also plan to focus aggressively on developing new diet drinks.
Let's take a moment today to salute a brave American hero. A man who saw through the amoral haze of today's society and who had the courage to stand up for what's right, even in the face of an unstoppable tide of modernity and vice. That man is Oklahoma legislator Ralph Shortey. And that fearless act of bravery wasā¦
A growing body of evidence indicates that there's a reason it's so hard for so many people to just stop eating junk foodā it's just as addictive as illegal drugs. This changes everything. Chocoholism is real, and it's no laughing matter, Cathy cartoons. All those songs you thought were coded odes to heroin andā¦

Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi on fighting for equality for women in business: "Sixty, seventy percent of what I'm speaking on has something to do with women's issues... But if I don't do it, who's going to do it?" [Forbes]
Oh, dear. A columnist for the Reflector, the online newspaper of Mississippi State University, doesn't believe that the Pepsi "AMP Up Before You Score" application is sexist, as "there's virtually no guy out there who genuinely believes women are objects."
