Reminds me of Imperial Japan’s flag of the rising sun.

Pepsi had this logo long before Obambi was even born, it is simply a contemporary version. I think people see what they want to.. Obambi is on everyone's mind so they see his logo in everything. If anything, Obambi stole Pepsi's logo.

While you’re picking up some Coke, head over to the aisle that has tinfoil. Sheesh.

Did you watch the report?
It wasn’t the OP saying it. The video did.

I think it’s the other way around. I think the Obama camp swiped their logo from Pepsi, taking advantage of the popularity of the product.

Doesn’t surprise me, at least on a marketing data perspective. At Coca-Cola, our data always showed that blacks preferred the sweeter taste of pepsi with the dark soda, where as sprite was preferred with the clear sodas.

“I think people see what they want to...”

Yes, including images of the Virgin Mary on toast, Elvis on a potato (it was an impersonator potator), and Jim Morrison on a bong in Amsterdam.

I heard that Pepsi is considering suing his campaign for ripping off their logo.

Pepsi’s logo predates Obama’s (by decades) — they didn’t base their logo on Obama’s.

As for using Obama in the Pepsi advertisement ... we’ve always pointed out that this guy is more of a celebrity than a President. Well — there’s your proof.

The “Yes You Can” phrase predates BO. Another ripoff I think.

Make sure you watch the video. Yes, pepsi has had the logo forever, but they’ve modified it slightly and made their ad campaign around ‘hope’. The video and interview address this.

I have always loved Pepsi instead of Coke and I’m as white as one can be, LOL.
