Pepsi didn’t just parody Coke’s campaign—they fixed what Coke missed:
Over the past few weeks (maybe even months), Coke has revived its iconic “Share a Coke with…” campaign.
The idea is simple: buy a Coke with someone’s name on the bottle and share it—like a carbonated version of a souvenir shop.
But this time, Pepsi was ready.
The problem with Coke’s approach? Not everyone can find their name. (I never can—shoutout to all the name-missers out there 😭)
So Pepsi seized the moment with a parody: “Share a Pepsi with…”
Except instead of names, they printed classic food pairings — burgers, wings, and pizza. And they added a jab of copy: Food deserves Pepsi.
It’s a smart play.
Where Coke banks on personalization, Pepsi wins on universality. Not everyone’s name is David or Sarah or Riley — but everyone eats.
And when they do, Pepsi’s making the case that their drink belongs at the table.
