Why I am switching to Coca-Cola. Forever.
Was this ad campaign developed by Pokemon-saturated high fructose corn syrup-addled tragically hip first graders? Because I do not get it.
Happily, this means I am not the desired demographic.
But, . . . who is? Thirsty robots on a diet?

Now I know what the billboard is about. What a ridiculous graphic. I'm nowhere near kid age, but I cannot imagine that it appeals to any group whatsoever.

I would never drink it because true Southerners don't drink Pepsi.

I agree that's a stupid ad.
I disagree that Coke is objectively better. Ultimately, it's a matter of opinion and I won't get dragged into an argument about it because I don't care that much, but I just like the taste of Pepsi better in general (but if someone offers me a Coke, I couldn't care less).
Of course, what I really like is RC Cola, but that hardly ever gets mentioned in the debate.

I prefer the taste of Coke to the taste of Pepsi, and the taste of RC to both. But I prefer Pepsi products (Mountain Dew, etc.) to their Coke equivalents.
I also like the Pepsi Center (a sports arena in Denver.)
And this ad makes no sense whatsoever.

I think we all agree the ad is retarded. And just to clarify, Pepsi bites anyway.

Mark, try watching the "Webisodes" that accompany some of the, . . . er, . . . "characters." It makes even less sense than the graphic alone.
Matt, you southerners call everything "coke" anyway, don't you?

Drew, yes, but Pepsi is particularly nasty. No Southerner should drink it. It's like drinking unsweetened tea.

Love is two people sipping Coca Cola from the same straw on a warm sunny day.
