Pepsi vs. Coca-Cola: “Diner 2.0?

Cola Wars Coca Pepsi Truck

A Pepsi acaba de reiniciar a guerra das colas com um novo comercial. Na verdade, um remake do famoso filme de 1995, veiculado no Super Bowl, que mostra dois entregadores de refrigerante – um da Pepsi e outro da Coca-Cola – confraternizando em um restaurante (ou quase isso).

Assim como o comercial original, criado pela BBDO, o “Diner 2.0″ também foi dirigido por Joe Pytka. Mas a agência responsável agora é a TBWA/Chiat/Day.

Algumas diferenças que merecem destaque: Agora os produtos protagonistas são na versão sem açúcar; a música que toca na jukebox não é mais “Get Together” dos Youngbloods, e sim “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” do War; e o final também é diferente, mais relevante para os dias de hoje.

Assista abaixo o novo filme, e em seguida o original:
