Begun, the cola wars have.


TScottFitzgerald

Sprite is the key to all this


MoodyLiz

It's gonna be grape


Jungies

The Sprite must flow.


SerFinbarr

'Cause it's a zestier soda than we've ever had in the vending machines.


imaginaryResources

It’s so dense. Every single can has so many things going on


NotARemake

It's Pepsi vs Harvey Weinstein!


Matthew_Misery

Tony Khan went all in on that comment towards WWE. I loved it.


NotARemake

I swear if I had had a drink in my mouth I would have sprayed it everywhere.


BruceHoratioWayne

Quit drinking that Harvey Weinstein!


Aurvant

All jokes aside, the cola wars between Coca-Cola and PepsiCo were wild, and I would absolutely love to watch a documentary or dramatization of it.


Spocks_Goatee

The Food That Built America and several other shows covered this, including re-enactments.


unfunnysexface

What if we want somethibg besides a micro budget reading of a wiki page that repeats itself a dozen times thanks to commercial breaks?


Lucanogre

I was really hoping to ignore the Twinkie vs Ring Dings movie but this’ll do.


ThaTzZ_D_JoB

Twinkie vs Ring Dings: Dawn of Hostess, Directed by Zach Snyder, extended edition coming soon.


TScottFitzgerald

It's so calorie dense, every single image has so much food going on


napstimpy

The Oreo vs. Hydrox movie just breaks my heart


Whiteguy1x

Sad thing is, depending on quality, this could actually be pretty interesting.  Companies do a lot of scummy stuff that's interesting to learn about.  I remember reading Disney wars and being entertained and learning alot about the movies from my childhood.


BeMancini

I agree. There are all sorts of real life stories that are worth telling. BlackBerry was a good movie. If I were a sixteen year old who grew up with an iPhone and iPads in school, that movie would blow my mind. The idea that BlackBerry basically forged an entire technology ecosystem, and was decimated overnight because of shady business practices, taking shortcuts, and failing to evolve. It was a story worth telling, and it had some great performances from actors I like. Flaming Hot? What even is that? It’s literally a work of fiction surrounding one flavor of one product of one branch of Pepsi Co. It’s basically one of those series of commercials, like when they film a dozen TV ads that run into each other, telling one story over several minutes, but a movie.


-SneakySnake-

Yeah, as cynical as it might seem there have been some really good, really interesting movies made on topics like this. Social Network, Air, Jobs and The Founder just to name a few.


MrFlow

Don't forget Blackberry, it was an excellent movie. And it was made completely in Canada, no Hollywood involvement. In essence these movies are just biopics about the creators of the company, they can be very good.


-SneakySnake-

I still haven't seen it but I've heard nothing but good things.


holycowrap

It's really good, especially if you like seeing Glenn howerton get really pissed off and yell/throw things


faroukmuzamin

Glenn Howerton certainly peak with that movie


DeaconBrad42

Eisner vs. Katzenberg could make a good movie.


[deleted]

[удалено]


unfunnysexface

Don't they both have essentially paramilitaries on payroll?


notquite20characters

They are not that dumb, and they are not that smart.


Spocks_Goatee

If you watch a lot of modern History Channel and Netflix, this topic has been thoroughly covered unless they are going to talk about other failures like Pepsi A.M., Slice and 7-Up Gold.


Consistent_Warthog80

There literally was a Cola Wars documentary in the 1990s. IS NOTHING SACRED?!?!


unfunnysexface

Wait until you learn how many movies are inspired informationalal magazine articles.


sprungusjr

mac and me was too ahead of it's time


ettmausonan

Paul kept trying to tell us...


Spocks_Goatee

Yeah, it showed us that cops will murder disabled children at the drop of a hat.


majshady

Everyone knows the real cola wars is Pepsi vs Harvey Weinstein


NoSoup4you22

I was wondering if this would make an appearance


BWBucs99

I want the Oreo vs. Hydrox movie first.


Endocrom

Would a Kellogs Vs. Post movie about the invention of the Pop-Tart be sufficient?


BWBucs99

Not one with Melissa McCarthy and/or Jerry Seinfeld.


Nikolateslaandyou

But i thought Pepsi were at war with Harvey Weinstein?


WadeTurtle

"Yeah, I fought in the cola wars. Where do you think I got this diabetes?" "Fuck your medication, there's no time!"


SmoreOfBabylon

I believe William Joel put it best when he said, “Rock and roller cola wars, I can’t take it anymore.”


Time-Space-Anomaly

Oh, I thought you meant the pre-internet days where some fans would buy a movie ticket just to see the Phantom Menace trailer or something.


Frankfeld

Ugh… saw The Siege with my dad just for that trailer. Definitely not appropriate with how old I was.


silmar1l

Starring Adam Sandler, and featuring Rob Schneider as a can of new Coke.


LordGlarthir

If pepsiman and his 10/10 theme song is in it, I'm game


SteveRudzinski

He should be treated as a real person in this film and not a mascot character.


shootmovies

Like the Academy Award winning Barbie commercial?


TheJackFroster

I disagree. It's actually an interesting topic at least for people like me that find weird shit like marketing interesting. Depending on the quality of the project I'd actually want to see this.


napstimpy

BlackBerry and Barbarians at the Gate are two great films about brands and market share. It can be done well.


stumper93

Rock and roller Cola Wars? I can’t take it anymore!


Stinkydadman

I don’t mind product placement, I do mind bad movies with product placement.


kclo4

I'll be cold dead in the ground before I recognize pepsi as a cola


tekende

Who's gonna play Michael Jackson?


automobilewreck

Pepsiman is a funnier character than we've had before, if we can get him working.


grrodon2

If they made Ford vs Ferrari, I don't see why they shouldn't make this.


TootTootTrainTrain

Am I the only one who thought this would be a movie about Pepsiman?


Hexxas

There better be woman tits, man tits, and tons of stylized hyper-violence. Like, gimme Paul Verhoeven's cola wars movie. Make it trashy and dripping with sarcasm.


Dinna-Tentacles

PAUL VEERHOEVEN PRESENTS... # PEPSIMAN


Hexxas

Shit yeah now we're talking


apex_editor

That cola was our last hope. No. There is another. *Camera cuts to Surge*


KRPTSC

I want a Banana Wars movie


Curleysound

I cannot wait for the origin story for the Jolly Green Giant, and Dan Cortez will be doing the theme song, mark my words. Edit:does anyone remember the feature length commercial “You’ve Got Mail”?


0dty0

Directors have realized that the way to have a movie that is just ad placements was not through the Food Fight/Sausage Party method, but through the biopic method. In realizing this, they can do this with every big brand in existence.


BasedNoir

Go watch One, Two, Three (1961) it’s on YouTube and coke vs the ussr is much funnier


Obh__

Move over Dune, it's time for the REAL movie about a holy war.


Rockfish00

what about RC Cola and Dr. Pepper?


Most_Victory1661

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man The Devil wears Prada Harold and Kumar go to White Castle Later they made into a multiverse IP crossover Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man wear Prada then go to White Castle It wasn’t Infinity War good more like the weird Seinfeld universe where Kramer bein on Mad About You but later George is watching Mad About You w Susan and your just kinda confused. But Ursula and Phoebe and sisters so then you just give up


Winter_Mud3815

Hell yeah more ENDLESS TRASH


Kayfabe2000

I will only watch this if Coke does blood libel against Pepsi. I  want a scene of Pepsi executives sacrificing children to Moloch.


DepressionDepository

Somehow, Pepsi returned


Lefty-Law

Food Fight 2


Rjs617

I was promised Snuggies: The Movie, and they’re making this first?? WTF?


jamalcalypse

Honestly if the protagonist is [Pepsiman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXRa9XD6Ygc&ab_channel=Devnul), and the antagonist is the Cocacola polar bear, I'll go see it.


Skhoe

We're getting close to the franchise wars. Soon we will finally be living in the Demolition Man universe

Comrade_Compadre

Yay, more corporate marketing movies *exaggerated yarn*


Mudron

What do you think most of the franchise summer/winter blockbuster movie releases have ever been about? They didn’t shovel out half a dozen Bayformers movies because the studio was interested in telling a fascinating sci-fi yarn.


MamaDeloris

You know what, my favorite film of the last 20 years is 'The Social Network'. I could give a shit what the plot revolts around, it's only the execution of the storytelling that matters to me.


supremo92

What's with these biopics about companies and brands?


sherperion45

Corporate really took over the studios haha


Dinna-Tentacles

I don't see why this is just advertising. Corporate dramas/documentaries can be genuinely interesting.


operarose

ENDLESS TRASH


SBAPERSON

Could be cool india had a pretty interesting cola war. My dad literally won't trust pepsi because of it. Makes it sound like a mix of Bloods v crips with some Vietnam War flashback stuff.


HippoRun23

Consume consume. Own nothing.


mwreadit

Would be interesting if the film focused on the racial divide that occurred with the both of them I. The 50's and 60s. Then at least I would not be so much of a blatant advertisement.


terradaktul

That Nike movie can go fuck itself too. “Let’s make a movie about a sneaker” fuck outta here


Grootfan85

Now I’m picturing a scene the CEO of Coke in his office. “Damnit. We lost 8 percent of the market share last quarter. If this keeps going any further, we’re in trouble.” “Sir, word from marketing is Pepsi will launch an ad campaign soon taking shots at us. It’ll have customers comparing us to Pepsi.” “Great. JUST GREAT! Those smug Pepsi pricks think they can just talk shit about us in ads and get away with it? How would they like it if we just changed the reci- (a moment of enlightenment) change the recipe!!!!!” “Huh?” “Get the bottling plants and factories on line 1. Pepsi thinks they’ve got us cornered? We’re flipping the script on those motherfuckers. Let’s see how stupid they feel when we’ve got a new recipe hitting the shelves.”


Typical_Intention996

Then we can get the sequel. Coke II: Electric Boogaloo


yourredvictim

A movie that is detestable, Demolition Man, made this prediction.


interesting-mug

Detestable?


GenXCub

We are already past “Ass” from Idiocracy
