The 80s classic Back to the Future Part II isnt just one of the greatest sequels of all time. It was also a visual feast for the eyes that gave us an (exciting) peek at what 2015 MIGHT look like.
But the movie also left us wanting a few things that we hoped would be available by 2015, like Martys bad-ass Nike self-lacing sneakers
the iconic AF hoverboard
and of course, the oh-so-cool looking Pepsi Perfect bottle.
Well, Pepsi finally delivered and created Pepsi Perfect!!!
According to USA Today, the limited-edition Pepsi Perfect (which is Pepsi made with REAL sugar) will be released online on Oct. 21 (aka *Back to the Future day) and set you back $20.15.
(*Back to the Future day is October 21, 2015, the date that Marty, Doc, and Jennifer arrived in 2015 in the film.)
Pepsi even released aesthetically perfect commercial to celebrate the release:
The only thing I have to say is: Your move, Pizza Hut. I want my dehydrated pizza!!!
Looks like some kind of shampoo bottle.
I’m a Coca Cola addict, but I’ll have to give this Pepsi a try ..
$20 for a Pepsi?!
I’m a Coke man, myself, but I can get Coke with real sugar (aka “Mexican Coke”) at Home Depot for $1.79 a bottle - and it’s real glass just like the Cokes of my youth.
If the future costs $20 a bottle, I think I’ll live in my $1.79 past.
Lou: You gonna order something, kid?
Marty McFly: Ah, yeah. Give me- Give me a Tab.
Lou: Tab? I can’t give you a tab unless you order something.
Marty McFly: Right. Give me a Pepsi Free.
Lou: You want a Pepsi, pal, you’re gonna pay for it.
It took me forever to get used to things like salad dressing in plastic bottles, because it always seemed like eating shampoo or hair conditioner...
All I wanted was a Pepsi....Just one Pepsi!
oh who cares? really! some glorified movie prop and people go all wee-wee over it and can’t wait to pay 400% the going rate.. are we really that gullible?
Pepsi supports homosexuals and every thing that they do.
Think about THAT when next time you put their brown liquid in your mouth.
All I wanted was a Pepsi - and she wouldn’t give it to me!
Hoverboards are real now.

It doesn’t matter, I’ll probably get hit by a car anyway. ;-)
People who try to envision the future always get it wrong. They get hung up on things that fly and hover. Get over it, we are never going to be hovering on boards or have cars that fly.
Do you like your quasi-futuristic clothes Mr. Powers? I designed them myself.
When the drinks are in cans, they get much colder, that’s for sure.
“Get over it, we are never going to be hovering on boards...”
See post #12!
All that’s missing are the highways paved with magnetically-charged asphalt to make them usable in the way that Marty McFly did.
