Phew.
That could have gone one of two ways.
Fortunately, my mother and sister in law made the right call.
They gave me the gift of this official Pepsi Co T-shirt for my birthday earlier this year and I’ve purposely reserved it for my honeymoon break. Turns out that was a good choice as here at the resort Pepsi is served exclusively. It's in the restaurant, the snack bar, the beach bar – it's even in my room's mini bar. They’ve really missed a trick for ultimate corporate sponsorship by not filling the resort's various swimming pools and fountains with the 'sparkling, bracing beverage' instead of conventional water like other resorts. Though judging by the atrocious connectivity of the resort's wifi, it could well be that their servers are filled with the stuff.
There isn't a Coca Cola logo in sight and thanks to the design on Day 265's THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge tee, I’m not going to offend management and the vendor contract they hold by contradicting their cola preference.
Truth be told, when Pepsi is served in a chilled glass over a few blocks of ice, it beats Coca Cola hands down. Though for some reason, it tastes god-awful from a bottle or can back in the UK…
In T-shirt stakes, Pepsi nails it again with this vintage illustration of a classic 12 ounce bottle positioned over a VW Camper Van parked within an over-sized Pepsi logo and surrounded by hibiscus flowers. As established in previous VW Camper Van posts on this blog, the inclusion of these latter two details ensures this peppermint green garment is automatically fit for summer and therefore a very welcome addition to my honeymoon/birthday collection. But the real reason I'm about to drink this cool refreshing Pepsi is because I'm celebrating only 100 T-shirts left to wear until the THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge is complete!
Cheers!
