Mountain Dew's " Do the Do " campaign. Especially the one where the cyclist outraces the cheetah, tackles it and reaches down it's throat to pull out the can of Dew. The cat's 'puter-generated stunned expression is hilarious ! :D

Wasn't that for Pepsi Max, not Mountain Dew? I kinda remember if due to one of the guys going "see? that's why I'm not a cat person" :D

But to keep on topic - Yeah the Budweiser frogs were great, but IMO the lizards took it better :D That little plan with the ferret was the icing on the cake :D ("Look at me!" "How can you look at me - Turn away!" :D)

That, and the recent John Smiths ads; bloody marvelous :D

Hmmm....you might be right about the Pepsi Max, I thought for sure it was Mountain Dew, but I'm an old fart and my memory is......my memory is.....uh.......shit, I forgot what what I was going to say. ;)

The dutch Commercial for peanut butter about a little boy and Dick Advocaat. :D

VIDEO!!! :lol: :lol:

The Peter Kay No Nonsense ones, especially the football one where they're all doin skills and he just boots it.
HAVE IT!

In the US it was definitely a Mountain Dew commercial. http://members.roadfly.com/tite-wad/thumb.gif

I've never even heard of Pespi Max so obviously there wouldn't have been a commercial for it here.

More than likely Canada had the same advert as we did.

However, the other continents/countries may have had something different. :unsure:

Put simply, think of Pepsi where all the sugar is replaced for some sort of sweetener, going much further that Diet Pepsi - That would be Pepsi Max. Not bad in moderation but when consumed too much it tastes like s***e ;)

I&#39;m surprised that the drink isn&#39;t even released in the US - The advert I was on about had a style characteristic to ads from the US :blink: If I wasn&#39;t being truthful, I see Mountain Dew here but very rarely. I wonder if Mountain Dew & Pepsi are owned by the same company - That might explain why two different products have similar ad.

Or it could be that it was originally the Mountain Dew ad, but the Pepsi Max ad team made a skit of it (I remember it being an set of extreme bikers in it and the one chasing the cheetah scorning it after grabbing the can - "Bad cheetah&#33;" :D)

To the hell with it - It was good anyway. If Pepsi Max really isn&#39;t in the US tite-wad, maybe I&#39;ll send you a multipak of some; let you experience the liquid crap we are sold :devil:

I have no desire to try Pepsi Max. You&#39;ve made it sound gawd-awful&#33; :o

There&#39;s a possibility that PepsiCo may distrubute Pepsi Max in other parts of the US - California for example - and we in the Midwest would never hear of it.

And yes, i believe Mountain Dew is a product of PepsiCo - as is Sierra Mist and others.

I think PepsiCo also owns Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Pizza Hut - among other things. :blink:

Trust me - I&#39;ve grown accustomed to Diet Pepsi and can&#39;t stand the regular stuff, but I&#39;d rather down it like water instead of the Max version :x

You sh**ting me that PepsiCo owns that much. I wonder if PepsiCo is the post-1900 name of the Illuminati...;)

I did a bit of "Googling" and found out my info was slightly out of date.

Turns out PepsiCo did own those chains, but spun them off into a new corporation called Yum&#33; Brands :rolleyes: in the mid &#39;90s. So technically PepsiCo doesn&#39;t own them any more.

Yum&#33; Brands also owns a couple of other restaurant chains. (See here)

PepsiCo, however also owns Frito-Lay which I didn&#39;t realize before. (See here)
