Putting the “Pop” in Pop Culture

3000_1029886356

I was the weirdest kid.  I used to research pop when I was bored at the library in the summer.  Before the internet, I would scan the shelves for interesting titles and I remember coming across a marketing book all about beverages.  I clearly recall a section highlighting an ad showing products that were “in development” at Pepsi at the time.   What caught my eye was a drink called Pepsi AM.  It was Pepsi that had a caffeine boost in it.  I thought what a world where you can drink pop in the morning, I was ecstatic.  Let me remind you, this was in the early 90’s so the idea of an “energy” drink had not been really thought out yet.  Flash forward to now…Pepsi AM is now Pepsi Max.  The pleasure of living is seeing things change and morph only to become the same.  Enjoy and drink a Pepsi Max today just for fun!
