词汇 | pepsi generation |
词源 | Pepsi generation. The Pepsi generation is used, sometimes sarcastically, to mean the now, “with-it” generation. The term comes from the Pepsi-Cola slogan Come alive, you’re in the Pepsi generation. Recently Pepsi-Cola moved into the Thailand soft drink market and had their slogan translated. It later devel- oped that the Thai translation it was using said: “Pepsi brings back your ancestors from the dead.” Incidentally, the word Pepsi in Pepsi-Cola is there because the drink’s inventor, North Caro- linian drugstore proprietor Caleb D. Bradham, first marketed his invention as an elixir to relieve dyspepsia. See coke. |
