Brand Debuts Humorous Stunt Content Promoting
That Pizza Tastes #BetterWithPepsi and To Prove It, Offers Fans
Tens of Thousands of FREE Pizzas On DoorDash with Purchase of ANY Pepsi from Leading Pizza
Restaurants Little Caesars, Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, and
Marco's Pizza
PURCHASE, N.Y., Sept. 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ordering pizza on a Friday night
is a classic end-of-week celebration (with nearly 43% of pizza
orders taking place then), but if you're not chasing that crispy
crust and gooey cheese with a refreshing sip of ice-cold PEPSI®,
you're leaving taste on the table – and that's nothing to
celebrate. In hopes of putting a screeching halt to eating pizza
without a Pepsi, today, the brand debuts "PEPSI Chase Cars," a new
stunt reminding all pizza lovers (and anyone who appreciates good
taste 😉) that your next pie should be chased with a Pepsi, for
optimal enjoyment. The stunt content highlights the thrill of the
chase – the Pepsi chase that is – because pizza simply tastes
#BetterWithPepsi. And to prove it, this Friday, Pepsi is offering
tens of thousands of FREE pizzas to fans who choose to
"chase their pizza" with a Pepsi.

FOLLOW ALONG THE PEPSI CHASE:
The brand's humorous
stunt videos show the lightning-fast "PEPSI Chase Cars" in action,
ensuring pizza deliveries aren't completed without an ice-cold
Pepsi on the scene. Created in collaboration with BBDO Worldwide,
the content depicts various deliveries, where hungry, everyday
consumers are waiting for their piping hot pizza when a surprising
twist occurs. Suddenly, a visibly marked "PEPSI Chase Car" pulls up
alongside a pizza delivery vehicle and an over-eager delivery
driver jumps out just as the pizza is being handed to the customer
– handing over a complimentary Pepsi to ensure flavor doesn't get
away! Fans can check out the "PEPSI Chase Cars" in action on the
Pepsi YouTube channel here and can view additional cutdowns
and bloopers across Instagram, Facebook, X and TikTok.
"We're more committed than ever to proving that food –
especially America's favorite, pizza, tastes Better With Pepsi. We
love pizza and Pepsi together so much that we unleashed a fleet of
ridiculously overpowered 'PEPSI Chase Cars' to make sure that no
pizza is eaten without a Pepsi chaser," said Jenny Danzi, Head of Brand Marketing – Pepsi.
"When you're eating pizza, you deserve to enjoy it to its full
potential, and that's why we're offering tens of thousands of free
pizzas to prove that Pepsi, with its citrusy sweetness and
carbonation, perfectly complements the deliciousness that is pizza.
If your bites aren't chased by sips of Pepsi, you're leaving taste
on the table."
"PEPSI Chase Cars" is the latest creative stemming from the
brand's #BetterWithPepsi platform which has set out to prove all
food, especially pizza, deserves Pepsi.
