Pepsi attempts to market to millennial protesters, and it EXPLODES in its face

by SooperMexican

I don’t think I’ve seen a company brand fail as badly as Pepsi did in its attempt to market to millennials. Twitter has been set afire by liberals attacking it for it’s “tone-deaf” ad attempting to glorify protests.

Here’s the commercial that started it all – it’s kinda long and boring the most important part happens at the end, so skip around if you’re impatient:

Basically it’s a saccharine version of the protests, so that they aren’t seen as backing anything controversial, but at the end they make it appear as if all injustice can be solved by… sharing a Pepsi.

Yeah, bad idea.

They’ve been the butt of incisive jokes since the commercial hit the social media:

The best ones are when angry liberal minorities make fun of their white liberal counterparts:

Check out Fusion’s righteous indignation here:

Wait.. why you drivin’ without a license??!

So Pepsi has pulled the ad, apologized, and actually apologized to Kendall Jenner, which got people angry all over again!! This blew up in their faces quicker than mentos in a bottle of Coke.

Good job, morans.
