While exploring the Everfree, Twilight finds a mysterious refrigeration machine with a can of some kind of ice cold beverage waiting in its receptacle. Wishing to study the machine more, she teleports the can back to her castle as she isn't thirsty, but quickly loses interest as the machine's buttons do not appear to work.
A short time later, another one of those 'totally sealed away threats to the existence of Equestria' type problems reappears - the Rainbow of Darkness - and before anypony can do anything it quickly overwhelms several cities with Ponyville next in its path. The now exhausted Twilight, having no idea how to stop the evil rainbow, decides to have a drink and unwittingly summons the best chance Equestria has of salvation.
Chapters (2)
Gratuitous product placement knoweth not the bounds of time nor space, as Pepsiman is our eternal savior.
Is Pepsiman really real? I'm looking at the picture and I'm still having a hard time believing it!
Yes.

PEPSIMAAAAAAAN!
I'm going to send this to Proton Jon. He needs to see this.
Hey, when you get to the inevitable scene where Pepsiman runs in a straight line away from an object/truck/something coming at him, can you include a line referencing the Prometheus school of running away from things?
7252881 You really got to play his game then.
I need a Pepsi now, thanks.
I will admit, Pepsiman is the ONE definitive thing Pepsi has over Coke.
I was born in 2002 so idk who Pepsi man is but I saw completionists video of it and I thought to myself dang I sure wish this was a meme if only some one could fix it with some Pepsi...

Yeah, it's weird. All of the game's live action stuff was filmed in California, the game's setting arguably has stuff in America, and the whole game is dubbed in English with Japanese subtitles...but Pepsiman himself was a purely Japanese advertisement campaign.

that is entirely too much work for making a PepsiMan game.

Made me think of this great story as soon as I saw the title on YouTube
Damn, this was funnier than I expected it to be! Upvoted and faved!
I feel waves of nostalgia while reading this, tempered only by the trauma of having actually played the Pepsiman game.
Masterful.
