Here's the charts, which are boring. There, we said it. Their order has IT'S PEPSI TIME barely changed over the past two months, and aside from the post-holiday drop-off, the changes in sales figures haven't exactly razzle-dazzled us either. C'mon, Japanese console buyers. We wanna DRINK PEPSI-COLA ALL NIGHT AND DAY see some shifts of apocalyptic proportions next week. Everyone in Japan under the thrall of our voice -- go buy PEPSI a few Game Boy Pockets, and nothing else. That oughta do the trick.

that would be great if they brought it back. but don't buy that can. canned soda isn't like wine. it gets worse over time. that can of pepsi is gonna taste worse than your piss. also, if anyone from doritos is reading this: BRING BACK SALSA FLAVOR!!!1!!1
Quattro @ Feb 8th 2009 9:54PM
I really liked the Habanero Heat Doritos or whatever they were called. What was crystal pepsi?

habanero doritos were good too, but salsa flavor was godly.
Tre @ Feb 10th 2009 10:47PM
PEPSI. Get some.
jorojoserojas @ Feb 8th 2009 8:08PM
Anyone else want a tall glass of Pepsi?
Luke @ Feb 9th 2009 1:36AM
Yes
B3astofthe3ast @ Feb 8th 2009 8:08PM
I loved Vanilla Pepsi, that was the best.
Foetoid @ Feb 8th 2009 10:07PM
I buy myself Vanilla Coke here all the time. So good!
Rein @ Feb 8th 2009 8:09PM
For a minute, I thought I was going crazy or had the ability to see through my computer at the bottle of pepsi that is sitting behind the screen in the same position.
Don't ever do that again, Joystiq. :'(
jinn35 @ Feb 8th 2009 8:20PM
Why is the Pepsi-cola behind your screen, and not in your hand where you can chug it down and experience all the delicious flavors of Pepsi-cola as it tingles your tastebuds, fulfills you fantasies,and makes love to your mouth with all of its Pepsi-cola goodness?
Rein @ Feb 8th 2009 8:28PM
Pepsi found out I drank a Sprite last night and hasn't talked to me since. :(
jinn35 @ Feb 8th 2009 9:16PM
Well, if you only drank a Sprite, you should be able to rekindle your love with the Pepsi-cola. Good thing you didn't drink a Coke-a-cola, or the Pepsi-cola might be filing for divorce as we speak.
WINterfang @ Feb 8th 2009 9:20PM
LOL Jin.
B3astofthe3ast @ Feb 9th 2009 12:36AM
But sprite is a product of Coca-cola...
Mike @ Feb 8th 2009 8:18PM
Pepsi's big ad push is really kicking in. Think it's working on me.
Undead Priest @ Feb 8th 2009 8:26PM
I'm suddenly craving an ice cold bottle of Coca-Cola.
mmxzero @ Feb 8th 2009 8:30PM
C-C-C-COCA-COLA.
Me too.
Einhanderkiller @ Feb 8th 2009 10:27PM
I want some cocaine.

i liked the old pepsi logo better. and the sunkist logo is completely fucked up now. it's way too simple for the simple orange goodness that is sunkist. pepsi is good though. and people, STOP BUYING THE CANS. the glass bottled ones are a lot better. it might be psychological but glass bottled soda is soooo much better than canned. mmm...
slycooper_rocker (The Agent of Orange) @ Feb 8th 2009 8:44PM
also, wii down 13.04%??? damn.
slycooper_rocker (The Agent of Orange) @ Feb 8th 2009 9:17PM
am i the only one that sees the pepsi logo in the picture? i didn't notice that.
BPMOmega [gamertag] @ Feb 8th 2009 10:32PM
There's an entire Pepsi bottle in there.
I can't say for certain if it's the same with all brands (and locations), but here in Arizona, they sell glass bottle Coca-Cola. It's definitely better than that in the cans or plastic bottles. It's imported from Mexico and is made with cane sugar instead of fructose corn syrup. It's (somewhat) better for you, AND it tastes better. Hoohah!
slycooper_rocker (The Agent of Orange) @ Feb 8th 2009 11:34PM
we have the glass bottle ones in alabama but our's are locally bottled, not imported. i've heard the mexican coke are way better than the american coke.
slycooper_rocker (The Agent of Orange) @ Feb 8th 2009 11:36PM
*too complicated for the simple orange goodness that is sunkist
my bad...
Strategy_Panda (Pot & Spoon 4 Life) @ Feb 9th 2009 1:12AM
mexican coke v american coke, there's a joke in there somewhere
o.0
John P @ Feb 9th 2009 4:23AM
Glass Bottles > Cans > Plastic Bottles (which are awful)
Dr Jeckyl and Mr ESC. @ Feb 9th 2009 11:48AM
The formula for Mexico is different I visited the factory and yes it tastes better since they have to use real sugar instead of artificial stuff for health regulations since there are studies that say that artificial sweeteners may increase the risk of cancer.
I think the only ones that can use artificial sweeteners are the Light and Zero Coca Cola. The coca cola zero was suspended here for a while because it contained Aspartame but since the studies were not conclusive it continues to sell. I don’t you but the Zero Coke gave me a headache so I’m not drinking that again.
