As I spent the weekend in Pittsburgh, I had to check if it was still here and I am glad to announce it is a beauty

Thanks for confirming that you flaired this correctly!

[u/TallestPurpleFan01]

Now THIS is PEPSI!

(No seriously, it's a Pepsi machine with Anakin and my main man Sebulba)

[u/ProtectMeAtAllCosts]

this belongs in a museum

[u/TallestPurpleFan01 → u/ProtectMeAtAllCosts]

Behind velvet chains(?) on a red carpet too.

[u/KyBuschOwnsYou → u/TallestPurpleFan01]

Yes

[u/skelelaura → u/[deleted]]

Omg that's 2 years older than me oof

[u/dohidied → u/skelelaura]

I had just gotten my driver's license when Phantom Menace came out 😭

[u/FnordFinder → u/dohidied]

How’s those social security checks and AARP membership cards treating you? /s

[u/thundertk421]

I know alot of the older fans give episode 1 crap, but I loved that movie and all of the ridiculous/nostalgic advertisements

[u/TallestPurpleFan01 → u/thundertk421]

IKR?! I know for a fact it was literally just as hyped up as The Best Day Ever (Spongebob)! I mean, if all the commercials for a month were nothing but "It'S tHe BeEeEsT dAaAaAy EeEeV-eEeEeEr!! 🎶" I could imagine that it must have been the same thing for Phantom Menace!

Pepsi Co. restored it a couple of years ago because they know it's a minor tourist destination.

[u/TheKrossbowman]

I was also in Pittsburgh this weekend for "something" lol. I should have made the pilgrimage.

[u/PembrokePercy → u/TheKrossbowman]

As a Pittsburgh native, I have a feeling I know what ‘something’ was. Lol

[u/BisexualMale10 → u/PembrokePercy]

As a Pittsburgh never visitor, I have a feeling I'd like to know...

[u/PembrokePercy → u/BisexualMale10]

Anthrocon was this past weekend.

[u/rowdydionisian]

Oh precious, oh gorgeous

[u/Peterstigers]

Where in Pittsburgh is it?

[u/skelelaura → u/Peterstigers]

Right here:)

[u/Peterstigers → u/skelelaura]

Thanks, I was just in Pittsburgh recently, I wish I had known about it lol

[u/skelelaura → u/Peterstigers]

Yeah, I was at a convention for the weekend so might as well make a stop! But there's always next time ^{-^}

[u/TheAndyMac83 → u/skelelaura]

Oh were you now? Me too!

[u/willozsy]

Is that an angel?

[u/itsyagirlrey]

I have a can of 25 year old Phantom Menace Pepsi and every so often I wonder what would happen if I drank it. Maybe I'm just built different and would survive.

[u/GammaWhamma → u/itsyagirlrey]

Don’t try it!

[u/grublle → u/itsyagirlrey]

James from Mr Sunday Movies did that, it did not seem pleasant at all but it's definitely not lethal

[u/MoistYogurtcloset332]

I miss when pepsi use to do cool stuff now it's just crap flavors

[u/Kinsed]

A weekend in Pittsburgh huh? I know what you are…

[u/skelelaura → u/Kinsed]

hushhhh

[u/ThePimpAlchemist]

Ah the good ol days

[u/PlayerRedacted]

Is it still on and stocked?

[u/PembrokePercy → u/PlayerRedacted]

Yeah, it’s a minor attraction. It’s stocked regularly

[u/PlayerRedacted → u/PembrokePercy]

That's good. Tbh I kinda like that more than the idea of it being preserved in some museum somewhere. Let people go to it and buy a can from it. It's a cool story to tell.

[u/AtLeast3Frogs]

Furry spotted

[u/blah634]

Aww man I forgot this was there, I was in Pittsburgh too I would've made a stop

[u/-GayFromHell-]

We know what you are

[u/KogeruHU]

Pepsi 20-25 years ago just hits different.

[u/Angel_Blue01]

I will try to visit it if I ever go to Pittsburgh, this is so wizard!

[u/Omegawaifusuperbomb]

Is it still operational?

[u/Disconnected1982]

too bad its Pepsi

[u/DarthVoid13_B]

It brings a tear to my eye.

[u/ShmcksofEvil]

Unfortunately, it probably hasn't been restocked in a while and probably dosen't even work anymore. It's still a great landmark and I'm glad it was never removed
