In the never ending pursuit to be number 1, Pepsi has brought back the Throwback. And after some research I found out they did this last year as well. When I first saw the commercial Saturday evening, while standing at Granite City waiting for a table, I just about fainted. Typically I blow off the commercials unless I have a sick desire to see if they serve some type of entertainment value. Ya know, that same type of sick entertainment you get from watching someone bend a way they were not meant to bend in a football game. You see it happen live - you don't want to look because you know what's going to happen, but you can't help to look. Yeah, that same type of sick entertainment.
The Pepsi Throwback is back......."Now Made With Natural Sugar". This couldn't happen at a better time!!
In a country where there are about 54 million people who are pre-diabetic, Pepsi is raising their hand and saying, "I want to help you with your blood sugar issues". But with this kind of help I'd rather take my chances in a snake pit.
Basically, you can liken pre-diabetes to the pregame of your favorite sport. It's the show before the game where the commentators talk about and predict what is going to happen over the course of the next few hours. Pre-diabetes is much like that commentator predicting the outcome, except the eventual outcome here will be diabetes.
For a more in depth look at my point in all of this, and I will say I found some really cool interactive websites to help give you a visual presentation, then go to my blog and snoop around. It was some seriously eye opening information.......even at 2:45 a.m. as I finish this up.
