As many of you know Pepsi’s been under the hot seat all week for releasing a “protest” commercial starring Kendall Jenner. The ad was ripped apart by the media, internet, and pretty much any person that saw it. The criticism was so bad the Pepsi pulled the ad, tried to change the ending, and issued a full on apology. Even Kendall Jenner herself deleted all promotional tweets and Instagram posts having anything to do with Pepsi as she’s trying to distance herself from the brand.
Bottom line is that this isn’t the first time a big brand screwed up with an ad, and it won’t be the last time. However I will say this. When it comes to the soft drink wars, Pepsi’s rival Coca Cola doesn’t seem to screw up much with their advertising. In fact Coca Cola is known for their brilliant ads. Sure they’ve made mistakes too but nothing as big as this recent Pepsi ad. In fact, Coca Cola barely even has to advertise anymore. I can prove it.
Below I have what I consider to be the best unintentional Coca Cola ad of all-time. Even when these guys aren’t trying, their brand shows up in the most unexpected places.
