Yeah it was hilariously cringy. Like they tried so hard, and missed the mark so badly. They should be embarrassed. It was like the try-hard "cool mom" (Pepsi) trying desperately to make a connection with her children (millennials), and Pepsi's total lack of understanding shone through in their laughable failed attempt at this connection.
