The soda giant just dropped their Super Bowl ad on social media … which begins with a polar bear — an iconic Coca-Cola mascot — taking the Pepsi Challenge, and choosing Pepsi over Coke.
The shocked bear runs off to a therapy session — with a heavily bearded Taika Waititi talking him through his issues — before he hits the city streets and meets a lady bear on the street … who offers him a Pepsi.
The two then attend a concert together … where they’re shown on the Jumbotron … cuddled up and sipping on the beverage.
The bears are shocked … but, unlike their real-life inspo, they don’t dive out of frame … living their Pepsi life loud and proud.
While the commercial ends on a high note for these ursine creatures, it didn’t work out as well for their real-life counterparts.
