Pepsi is making Pepsi Perfect? BTTF

I totally agree BTTF is plagued! I've been disappointed for over 25 years! Remember these back in the 1980's-90's?
Because they know they could make that bottle square and paint it green and 6500 people would trip over themselves to buy it. That is, after they took to the net and authored hundreds of threads, just like this one, resulting in all the viral buzz Pepsi can stand.
Why be responsible? Why do it any other way when this model has worked time and time again for any number of items?
Until people start saying, "**** you, this in unacceptable," this is the way consumers will be treated.

UGH! Thanks for the horrible memories...LOL!
Reminds me of this clip from The Jerk...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKBRtdp2e98
I caught most of it last night. The best part was when VO guy says that the Mattel hoverboards were a dud because...then they cut to Scott Neitlich who said people were disappointed because the boards didn't actually hover. Yeah, THAT'S the reason :lol

They also combined different parts of his interview to prove that. My guess is that like most things THIS nerdy, the writers of the show didn't actually understand what they were hearing. As much as I dislike Scott, it seems like he was specifically talking ONLY about the reaction of kids in 1989, writing to Mattel for their boards. The writer didn't realize that and thought they were talking about the replica release.
I mean they also claimed that the RD Mags and Mattel Board were "actual" props. The show was likely thrown together quickly and they relied heavily on quick internet searches and assumptions for their research.
HELL! They even showed Gold Armor's Pepsi Perfect build. One of the least accurate builds and the shadiest people/recasters in the hobby.
This is just a quick cash grab on the part of History.

RIGHT! I forgot about that! And he got paid for that too because they had to license his clip. I also got the feeling that the show was a little slapped together. There were some weird cuts throughout (ok, taking off my producer hat now).
Yeah, it had the feel of the projects I used to do the night before when I was getting my film degree. :lol

i kinda enjoyed the history channel documentary. i did pick up on the recasters youtube video, but figured if you search youtube for pepsi perfect his video is around the top, they probably dont know his history in the prop replica community
i did how ever really enjoy seeing the pictures of the delorean on the forklift, i have never seen the A/B car lifted by the forklift before, i only saw the fiberglass car on the lift. those 2 pictures they showed were new to me

Nope. It's listed as a food product so they won't.

Anyone know where I can watch it outside of the U.S.? Wasn't on in UK and hoped I could DL or stream it somewhere?

Not sure if sling tv is available in your country but if so the show is still available to watch on there.

if your connect doesnt mind doing a trip like that again, i will pay the same thing, mind talking to her for me?
Haven't had a chance to post this yet, but wanted to share. I got my bottle at NYCC and was the first person to drink it live in Cafe 80's. the folks at the Pepsi booth were surprised and gave me one of their employee only shirts as a thanks! I'm happy with the replica and the taste wasn't too bad either.
They interviewed you earlier in the day, right? Because I seem to remember the jacket.
