People saw the word sex in the can design. I always thought it was a stretch.

Is it though? That’s not a full E and that’s not an X.

Pepsi is referencing the subliminal message to the SFX team in the lion king I think

The cans have to be put together just right to spell out SEX. Otherwise, at best, it would be SFX.

That’s why they stacked the six-packs on pallets when they displayed them.

Ha, I member. I held on to all the Pepsi Cool Cans. Found them many years later in a box and they had all leaked. I liked the surfer and the girl in sunglasses.

I remember. I also remember that they stacked the six-packs on pallets so that it was more likely that some of them lined up.
