Meets Pepsi! Don't forget that that. Oh, and set in some desert wasteland. The soda's latest string of commercials star actor Shun Oguri and remind me of PS2 classic Shadow of the Colossus.

As a man that at one point in his life consumed no less than four liters of vaguely citrus soda a day, I find it hard to believe that there was really a large demand for a mildly juice-infused Mountain Dew breakfast drink, yet here we are.
