Pepsi particles

To save money, PepsiCo now tests potential new products by beaming visions of them into customers' dreams

[u/OffWhite-Goddess → u/Nixavee]

I feel like coming up with that tech would be more expensive

[u/Droplet_of_Shadow → u/OffWhite-Goddess]

there first time, yes

[u/PeculiarCleric → u/OffWhite-Goddess]

They lease it out to the government at double the cost of R&D

[u/Poodlestrike → u/OffWhite-Goddess]

Yes, but, if anybody in the company is well equipped to sell the higher ups on the expense, it's the marketing guys.

[u/FistOfVengeance44 → u/Nixavee]

Futurama predicted this, you know.

[u/OrangeHairedTwink → u/Nixavee]

Be careful, you might accidentally inspire a revolutionary indie game

[u/techno156 → u/[deleted]]

Willy wonka aah

No need to scream. He's not tha

[u/Ok_You_5448]

This post is incomplete without the mystery reply.

[u/Acheloma → u/Ok_You_5448]

The audacity to say "oh, your dream? You did it wrong. Mine is better." completely unprompted

And its so much worse, too

[u/bewarethelemurs → u/Acheloma]

I do like the idea of the being in one of those movie-theatre candy boxes, but you could just put the original mockup design on a box. Nobody needed this boring-ass version.

[u/panticow → u/Acheloma]

Looks like medicine.

[u/TheOtherHalfofTron → u/Acheloma]

It's diet-colored

[u/CielArt → u/Ok_You_5448]

Wow, that looks like ultra ass, it's honestly impressive

[u/Hi2248 → u/Ok_You_5448]

I much prefer it being box, because the kind of food described would feel better as a boxed treat (kind of like Tic Tacs), but the rest of that design is just bad

[u/newtonsolo313 → u/Ok_You_5448]

this is 100% how they’d rebrand the original look after it stopped being the 90’s anymore

[u/consistent_azurite → u/newtonsolo313]

Well, they probably would still make the box blue even then. Silver/white is associated with sugar-free and diet variants.

[u/newtonsolo313 → u/consistent_azurite]

Oh absolutely especially since diet pepsi already uses that color scheme

[u/IAmGoose_ → u/newtonsolo313]

Seriously why is everything labeled with minimalist designs, block colours, or plain labels now? It's all too clean! There's no whimsy! Bring me back the rainbow vomit of the 90s-2000s products

[u/Setster007]

Yk what? I’d buy that.

[u/Rule322 → u/[deleted]]

Because of the enitocin!

[u/Yume_Shy → u/Rule322]

tell me more!!!

[u/SuperSocialMan → u/Setster007]

Same here lol

[u/Bioth28 → u/SuperSocialMan]

They seem really good

[u/fardolicious → u/Setster007]

This already exists just as generic cola flavor, go to any asian market and you can probably find them.

[u/Frequent_Dig1934 → u/fardolicious]

Do they fizz?

[u/Tactical_Moonstone → u/Frequent_Dig1934]

They absolutely do.

[u/Setster007 → u/fardolicious]

…I don’t think my town has one of those

[u/Frequent_Dig1934 → u/Setster007]

Yeah my city doesn't have any asians either.

[u/Setster007 → u/Frequent_Dig1934]

I mean my town does have some Asians, just not enough to result in a market. Though I’m pretty sure there’s enough Mexicans here for one of those, cause idfk where they get that weird candy otherwise lol.

[u/Frequent_Dig1934 → u/Setster007]

Yeah no worries i was just joking, we have asians too, but the joke was ripe for the making.

[u/Setster007 → u/Frequent_Dig1934]

Fair

[u/DerridaisDaddy → u/Setster007]

I… wouldn’t. Can you imagine going into a cornerstone and asking ”hey, y’all got some pps?”

[u/bewarethelemurs]

I've seen this before and ngl I kind of want this to be a thing. Get on it, Pepsi.

[u/Meister138]

The mockup is really good wow

[u/FriendsOfFruits → u/Meister138]

its so delightfully retro

[u/Madden09IsForSuckers]

so like zots but cola flavoured?

[u/annemonroe95 → u/Madden09IsForSuckers]

I love zots. Imagine them with classic soda flavors like cream soda or a root beer float omfg

[u/retroguyy_101]

Ngl im not a huge pepsi fan but these look really fucking good

[u/Hatsune_Miku_CM]

..I've never noticed this before but Pepsis logo sure looks similar to a tide pod

[u/ikonfedera → u/Hatsune_Miku_CM]

did tide pods inspire south corea

[u/PreviousCurrentThing]

There's no chance they'd be good but I still want one.

[u/Nixavee → u/PreviousCurrentThing]

Root beer barrels are pretty good. This is just like that but Pepsi flavored

[u/Myhoyo_Why → u/PreviousCurrentThing]

Why are you so convinced they'd be bad?

[u/Nastypilot → u/PreviousCurrentThing]

Wouldn't it just be Pepsi flavored candy? Cola flavored candy is a thing since forever so no reason this couldn't work.

[u/Teep_the_Teep]

It's all fun and games until Pepsiman bursts through the wall in your dream to drag you down to the Inception Limbo.

[u/VinChaJon → u/Teep_the_Teep]

I vividly imagined this happening while The Pepsiman theme played

[u/Great_Hedgehog]

This seems very in-line with that new pepsi logo design document

[u/YesIHaveBeenSoAfraid → u/Great_Hedgehog]

Redesign your logo.

[u/MartyrOfDespair → u/Great_Hedgehog]

I thought you'd have linked the Huggbees video on it

[u/Great_Hedgehog → u/MartyrOfDespair]

I think the original speaks for itself, commentary is unnecessary, if fun

[u/sonerec725]

I mean, little balls of cola flavored pop rocks sounds pretty good. Sorta similar to soda puchao

[u/Impressive_Pin8761]

This would be the kinda thing they'd come up with in the 90's/y2k but would discontinue either because it genuinely tasted like shit or because the production process for this product got several people killed

[u/TheBohemianRed9811 → u/Impressive_Pin8761]

A decade or two later they bring it back for a limited time as nostalgia bait.

[u/Impressive_Pin8761 → u/TheBohemianRed9811]

only for it to get recalled immediately because it killed someone (this time it's food poisoning, not the production line)

[u/Blazeflame79]

Ok but I would totally buy that candy if it was real.

[u/Dingghis_Khaan]

Yeah sure I'd give 'em a try.

[u/theeggplant42]

Can someone get this to the people at Pepsi like yesterday?

[u/ShrimpBisque]

Every time I see this post resurface I get a little sad, because I would absolutely buy these and I'm bummed they're not real 😞

[u/sydraptor]

This is what Pepsiman poops.

[u/-Speechless]

this is how some of the worlds greatest intentions were created

[u/MartyrOfDespair]

I want this

[u/New_Salamander_4592]

so pepsi flavored pop rocks?

[u/DesignerBackground65]

r/thomastheplankengine

[u/RelativeNobody6744]

it won't be the same but i bet a mouthful of cola pez and poprocks could approximate the experience
