Pepsi spent big money on big names in the 1980s. This commercial featured Madonna and they tried to make a HUGE deal about it at the time. I think the commercial itself is pretty lackluster when compared to the hype.

And didn’t Pepsi drop this commercial just as quick after they saw the REAL video on MTV? Similar to Michael Jackson’s commercials, except he tailored Billie Jean to hawk Pepsi.
i don’t care what people say, she was so freakin’ hot!
