donno, but that advertising campaign sure ruined that 'right now' song for me. cant hear it on the classic rock station without instantly picturing the pepsi commercials once the first bar is played.

THAT was good marketing, regardless of what you think about the product. another good ad line was the Be All You Can Be, and I have to say that I am truely upset by this "Army of One" nonesense.

Your Pespi Clear is sitting right next to my Tab. HA HA AHHHHA Cool and refreshing. Oh No wrong add, right company ( must be ok then )

What I want to know is where is the dividing line between Dr.Pepper and Mr. PIB. ( I believe that is what you call it)

Pop is something Richie Cunningham offers Arthur Fonzarelli at Arnold's.

Much has changed since then, you guys may want to stop slicking your hair with Grease.

What happens when that army of one guy retires? Do we not have an army then?

I dont think you do (divide, that is). you will find them both in the same place. for example, anywhere where there is PIB there is usually the Dr. San Diego has no PIB but certain fast food places in the Bay Area do.. San Antonio yes, North Austin no, South Austin yes. its sort of like a safeway (or insert your local grocery store here) brand.

Well, you've got to admit that it would certainly cut defense expendatures...

Army of one... You know what that means, They are just going to have one dude with a nuke strapped into his radio, air drop him behind enemy lines, and when he radios for help, BOOM!

One army of 5000 gone at one man's stupidity.

If the army wanted a new slogan, they should go to war movies and epic films like Patton, Gladiator, Star Trek II, Pirates of Silicon Valley, and such.

What we need here in america is a good, fun, head bashing. We got some enemies left over that the cold war didn't kill. Let's get one of them.
