"We don't exactly know why, but China seems to have a thing for the Pepsi brand. Following the Pepsi edition Oppo N1, another company from the Far East is launching a new device that's simply dubbed the Pepsi Phone. From afar, you may mistake this aluminum device as a rebadged Oppo R7 Plus, but it's actually a variant of the $250 Koobee H7 featuring the same 5.5-inch 1080p display (maybe IPS LCD?) with 2.5D glass, MediaTek MT6592 1.7GHz octa-core processor, 16GB internal storage, 2GB RAM and backside touch fingerprint sensor -- it's likely an older version, though, judging by its thick metallic border like the one on the Huawei Mate 7. It also runs on Koobee's customized Android 5.1 with a Pepsi theme out of the box."
Twitter announced promoted stickers on Monday, a way for big brands to pay so that their stickers show up at the top of the pile. Twitter is launching the new ad type with Pepsi, which makes a lot of sense when you consider that Pepsi CFO Hugh Johnston recently joined Twitter’s board.
"Yes, the title is correct. Pepsi is going to launch a smartphone. It will only be available in China and it won’t be manufactured by the famous beverage brand. The Pepsi smartphone, dubbed Pepsi P1 will be manufactured by one of the Chinese companies that delivers such devices. The P1 will carry the famous red- white- blue logo and will probably cost somewhere around $200."
day by day more people realize that they drink chemicals so chemical-boys have to strike in other directions :)
Maximum PC: Pepsi conspired with professional NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon to film a new ad featuring him taking a Chevy Camaro for a test ride, but with a twist. In the ad, Gordon dons a disguise so that he's hardly recognizable as a celebrity. He walks into the dealership acting like a timid middle-aged man who's perhaps in over his head trying to handle car with the get-up-and-go of a V8 Camaro. Hilarity ensues as he takes the seemingly unsuspecting car salesman for the ride of his life.
