After this ridiculous pepsi rebranding, I started realizing just how the era of 1985 to around 94 was the perfect time for just about..everything.
Especially pizza and soda. Seriously, for some reason, the packaging back then was just perfect across the board. The food looked so much *better*.
Along with
There's countless other examples. Just think of the original + second Ninja Turtles movie. I don't think any movie has made the pizza+soda combination more appealing, ever.
Also, not to get too nostalgic, but Channel 11 New York was literally the greatest cable station of all time, until WB swallowed it up. Saturday afternoon movie rosters of Masters of the Universe, Rambo movies, or Police Academy.. perfection.

you have to think of it in terms of what sells this garbage these days.
these people are marketing to kids, as always, and kids like things bright and shiny and new. they also like it when pop culture finds it's way into media (thus the emoticon inspiration behind the new pepsi brand)
it's just this years marketing ploy as it was that year's marketing ploy.

Personally, I like the old Pepsi can the best. The one on the left.
Nostalgia is an untameable beast.

Coke is the only brand of soda that embraces their past instead of killing it.

i think these things evolve as cultural demographics evolve, especialyl Pepsi who went after the "MTV Generation" and the visual packaging had to reflect this overstimulated short attention span TO THE MAX shiznit.

That pepsi can on the left looks like the kind of facelift that Turner Duckworth recently gave to the coke cans. simple and uncluttered. I likes it. Still wouldn't drink the shite though, that'll rot yer teef like!
- I like simple and uncluttered. Simple and uncluttered is good. We need more of it.BRNK

huh?
1985-1994 was def not the golden age of branding... you're just partial to it because its nostalgic, reminds you of your youth.

you trendy guys and your trendy tastes in trends..
to me it doesn't get any better than the 50s

horton has a point, its all personal nostalgia.
An emotional connection is the strongest tie a brand can make, it takes generations to acomplish, but once achieved the results are so strong that make people write statements like the one opening this thread.

nah Meeklo, i have ZERO nostalgia for the pepsi can, fuck them cuntfaces, and i actually don't rightly remember those 85 ones, i was like 2-3 years old.
Look at it tho, i think it looks hot shit compared to what's up now. You CAN be objective about it.
