Settling down with a delicious Pepsi cola, I began to reflect on marketing in the modern day. Nowadays, popular companies such as Pepsi routinely pay TV shows, movies and writers to market their products with subtlety in their work. You can’t do anything it seems without seeing that distinctive blue can full of creamy, smooth soda stuck right in your face. Does it not seem wrong that your favorite celebrities are drinking that wonderfully cold Pepsi cola as a means of advertising? We need to know whether the people we look up to are actually drinking that wonderful Pepsi on their own accord, or being paid to do so! This constant product placement will soon blur the line between art and economics, and that fabulously refreshing Pepsi cola will be caught right in the middle of it! Darn, I need another Pepsi to cool off.

The Lighter Side of the Moon 
I discovered later in life that I love Pepsi. Years after marrying a Coca-cola fan. I am not sure we can survive the pressures of a dual soda household.
My house doesn’t really have a soda division. If it did though, it would probably be solved by the massive amounts of Pepsi I should be receiving for this sponsorship.
