Twitter users slam Pepsi soda ad that promotes COVID-19 testing site
A Pepsi-sponsored poster promoting a COVID-19 testing site at a Walmart in Orlando, Florida, is leaving a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths.
That’s because the poster prominently features Pepsi branding including the soda’s current motto, “That’s what I like.” But a lot of people apparently didn’t like it, based on the Twitter reaction to this photo of the poster:— Firr May 20, 2020 Despite the value in letting people know where they can get tested, Pepsi’s insistence on corporate branding left many people feeling as flat as a soda set out in the sun for two hours.Everything about this is just so bad. The implied Pepsi sponsorship, the suggestion we're supposed to memorize Walmart store codes...Irony of a soda drink which is unhealthy itself possibly aiding in more death related to obesity than this virus sponsoring a health service is not lost on me.
