Get a load of THIS!

[Auggie Doggie]

I was just surfing websites from Japan and reading translations via Altavista (http://babelfish.altavista.com/r?H01) and found the Pepsi Japan Site (http://www.pepsi.co.jp) and discovered a Peanuts promotion featuring the characters on bottles of soda during the holiday season.

Don't believe me? Here's some evidence:

Pepsi Cola (http://www.pepsi.co.jp/peanuts1120/can/1.html)

Diet Pepsi (http://www.pepsi.co.jp/peanuts1120/can/2.html)

I wonder why the US can't do such wonderful promotions...

Is that supposed to be sarcasm? To me, those things look really weird.

Hey those are cool! I'd like to have Peanuts Pepsi bottles on my shelf... :D

I think those are kind of cool too. What do we get? Pictures of Britney Spears on our Pepsi!

[Squall]

Hey, give the lady a break. Britney Spears is gorgeous! :D (I don't care for her music, or pop music in general, though.)

[Calhoun07]

Britney is nice to look at (love that avatar, Squall! I will miss it if you ever change it! :( ) but it would be cool if they did something different than a pop star or Star Wars.

Actually, I think I'd be more inclined to drink pepsi if instead the bottles depicted Britney's little 'bucket-o-filthy-justice' incidence instead.

I just want Pepsi Man.. I mean what makes them think we won't respond to it the same way as the Japanese ? It's better than the "new blue can" advertisement campaign.

Heck Coca Cola Had FF Characters on the bottle once and we get freaking Polar Bears.

Apparently not! :eek: Sure resembles Brit.....in a way.....Ok, so I am a tad slow! And I don't play Final Fantasy, so if and when I see characters from that game, my mind immediately tries to connect the image with somebody known.

Keep in mind, Peanuts is already booked to jelly jars in the US. Although FoxTrot isn't booked to any endorsement right now... :D

[Squall]

That's right! My avatar is a character from Final Fantasy X named Rikku... she's not the love interest of the main hero, but she IS considered by many who played the game to be the "babe" of Final Fantasy X. :D

And Calhoun07, thanks for the compliment! :) Don't worry, once I get something fixed up the way I like it (like my World's Finest profile, for example), I rarely, if ever, change it. So don't worry, Rikku will be there for a long time... ;)

Those are really kewl - I wouldn't mind putting those up in my room for a christmas decoration. Sometimes I wonder why it is that in America we can't get some of the kewler things that overseas gets - I mean Buffy Season 3 and Angel Season 1+2 on DVD in Britain and the Animated DC toys that came with the Quick restruants kids meals over in Belgium.

Nope - can't have those. Maybe we're just spoiled as Americans, still doesn't change the fact those are dang kewl! ;)

-Joe!
