Why do I buy pepsi? After a masala-dar desi meal all that mirchi in the stomach needs to be calmed down. And the gastric furnace needs to start breaking the food down. Thank God for pepsi, for it comes to soothe ;-)
The competing products have either too much caffeine/sugar or too little of it. Pepsi is just right. And the belch (burp) that follows after you have had four glasses of pepsi - ooh, man, it makes you feel like youre a true, blue-blooded Indian :) - our national signal for acknowledging how good the food was and how satisfied the person is feeling.
Anyways, the last point is - pepsi bats alchohol hands down. It keeps you awake, but there is no hangover the following morning. andif youre driving, the life you save might be your own ;-)
Next time, stop and try it. Disclaimer: I do not work for Pepsi Corp.
