Pepsi Cans Look Like They Were Bought At A Discount Store

God forbid anyone even suspect you may have purchased Pepsi at a
*gasp* discount store! How would you ever recover your reputation?
This is too silly to take seriously.

Thanks for the laugh!

This letter to Pepsico made me laugh, and then all of the posters'
comments made me laugh even harder!

I hope the good people at Pepsico will get as much of a smile out of
this as I did :)

Drink coke, coke is the real thing.

I'm wondering what's wrong with purchasing soda at a discount store.
Personally, with very few exceptions, I always "shop the specials."
It's a wise way to stretch one's budget.
The last party I attended, the cans and bottles were in tubs of ice.
If the labels were scuffed, no one would have known the difference.
Besides, when the company and conversation are good, no one really
cares. (hint!)

Guess I'll stick with Coke.

Don't you all know know , you could have a party. Your food could
be as good as the best restaurant's in town. Your party song's could
be top 10 songs, your party activities could be fun and get people
moving, but once you serve the pepsi and if one of those can's happen
to have a dent or is a tad off colour your party's a total failure.
:D
;)

While the "People probably thought I bought them at a discount store"
comment was kind of goofy, I also would have wondered why the cans
were all scuffed up.

I work in a "big box" retail establishment and have seen soda boxes
fall apart, cans roll all over the floor, get scuffed and dirty; then
the vendor or other employee puts them in a new box or tapes up the
old one. You definitely wouldn't want to drink straight from those
cans before washing them off first.

Perhaps that was what Michelle was referring too?

This has got to be the most petty, shallow and vane letter I ever have
read on this site.

Hopefully Pepsi will give it all the attention it truly deserves.

Oh my god, Michelle you poor thing! I mean, if I thought people might
believe that I would ever shop at a discount store, I just don't know
what I would do! The shame! The social stigma! The unmitigated
trauma! Wait a minute, I do shop at discount stores, especially when
shopping for things like soda. You know, stuff that any idiot should
know will taste exactly the same no matter what condition the can is
in. Because it is stupid to worry about what your soda can looks
like, as long as it's the same old Pepsi inside, right? Yeah, really,
really stupid. Get a life.

Pour your pepsi into a cup or coffee mug and be over with it. Or tell
people something exotic like "I bought it in Jordan and that is what
cans look like there!"

I have the same problem all the time. When I have my cases of Dr.
Pepper shipped in from Albania, they manage to lose most of their
luster during the transfer. That's why I have a team of professional
can restorers on hand to refurbish each can with reinforced aluminum
siding, a new paint job, two coats of wax and a thorough buffering, in
order to restore each can to its original mint condition. Sure, it
takes a while and costs me a fortune, but I can't be seen with dingy
old Dr.Pepper cans. Whatever would the neighbors think?

My root beer that I got from the vending machine had a small dent in
it. I drank it it tasted the same. I still want my 50 cents back so
because of the mental angish it caused when I drank it in front of my
friends in scouts. There I can make a prankletter to only I won't
send it in because I know companies have to much time on their hand to
read prank letters.

You are worried about people thinking that you bought your Pepsi at a
discount store? I think that's silly, but it's your perogative. But
anyway, why didn't you just take the case of Pepsi back to the store
and ask to exchange it if it bothered you that much? Then the issue
would be solved. Right?

You are so lucky! I had to pay extra to have my soda cans given that
fashionable "distressed" look.

I wouldn't be caught dead with a shiny new-looking can. Those are so
yesterday.

;-)

This has got to be the most ridiculous complaint I have ever read.
You're worried about what your soda can label looks like? You really
think people CARE what your soda can label looks like? What immense
ego!

They owe you nothing.

You don't drink the can you drink what's inside.
And so what if people thought you bought them at a discount store? Are
you so vain that God forbid if that's what people think?

Why didn't you just return them to the store you bought them at? That
would have been the simplest thing to do.

Was the Pepsi inside the cans flat, or was it the same quality Pepsi
that you are used to? And who cares if people thought you bought them
from a discount store? As long as the product inside was still fresh,
I don't think the outer can should matter. Maybe it was just a fluke,
a one time thing?

I personally don't think Pepsi owes you a refund or vouchers for
future purchases as long as the product was drinkable.
