I Guess They Took The Pepsi Challenge on LV-426
Travel back to 1992 for this bit of advertisting ridiculousness. What better way to promote Alien 3 than to have two grunge kids (one of whom is Lost‘s Jeremy Davies) encounter an alien in a non-descript alley and ward it off with some Pepsi? Not only was the film fucked, but its tie-in campaign was insane too. Kudos to Fox for allowing Pepsi to completely emasculate the greatest monster in horror history with a single burp joke. Well, at least now you know what to wash down that Alien wedding cake with. Jesus, the 1990s really sucked. (Via SciFi Squad)
