Here it is: the official television commercial launching Pepsi Throwback. I have to say, I love it. They totally got the “retro” feel down with their 60’s / 70’s inspired graphic animation. This ALMOST makes up for its utterly lackluster packaging. Almost. The following video was posted on Pepsi’s Youtube account.
While I haven’t seen this air on television yet, Throwback is only scheduled to be sold for 8 short weeks, so I’m guessing it’ll be popping up soon. Also no word if this is the only spot for Throwback, or if there will be more commercials in a series.
For those of you who can’t watch this thing, here’s a transcript of the voiceover (spoken in a Barry White-Like voice over a funky beat)
Pepsi’s got another hit on its hands and it’s called Pepsi Throwback. Introducing Pepsi Throwback, made with natrual sugar. Only for a limited time. Haha…sing it, baby.
What did you think of the ad? Here are some screen caps:
PEPSI AIN’T TAKIN NO CRAP FROM THE WHITE MAN
this is a soda i can believe in
It’s a fun ad, but I still don’t think it improves the horrid package design.
The ad’s cool, though I’m not sure about the music.
I <3 the blacksplotation they use
this out yet? been keeping an eye out every time i go to the store haven’t seen it yet.
oh and i guess screw you and thank you tim for making me a soda freak too.

Not in my local grocery stores yet, I’m gonna check out WalMart tonight, hopefully they got it in.
Another can for the collection
Needs more dead babies.
I agree, Puke.
Throwback JUST got to the SF bay area where I live, and its AWESOME. And yes, it is basically Coke in a stylized Pepsi can.

Pepsi needs to bring back the old beach ball, the new logo looks teh ghey.
