If you read El Pais, you would have the information and deep analysis of the world´s scene and you would have noticed that the army of Puerto Rico never took part in the Tiananmen killing of 1989 in China, that Chai Ling, Psicology student, was never with someone during that episode and that the protest was never against United States.

According to Business Wire, Pepsi is entering a 10-year tenant/naming rights agreement with Meadowlands Xanadu–the most expensive mall project ever conceived–to create a 287-foot-tall “Pepsi Globe,” a.k.a. Ferris Wheel in northern New Jersey.

“The Pepsi Globe will be an instant landmark – the signature attraction heralding the premiere entertainment and shopping destination in the country,” said Laurence Siegel, President, Meadowlands Development, the creators of Meadowlands Xanadu.

The Xanadu opportunity was brought to Pepsi by brand energy agency Protagonist, led by Matti Leshem. “Matti’s been a terrific partner. He didn’t just make the introduction, he’s an integral part of developing the ride, from creating an interactive experience inside the capsules to building Globe-shaped recycling bins for placement throughout the venue,” said Kristina Mangelsdorf, director of marketing for Pepsi.

A ride in the Pepsi Globe will last approximately 25 minutes and offer sweeping vistas of the New York skyline and the Hudson River.
