I had the 7-up game on Sega Genesis even before this was a thing. I'm a little surprised that those kinds of games didn't become more popular since companies are cramming adverts into every possible medium now.

Pepsimaaaan. Game was a trip. I grabbed the rom recently to take that nostalgic play through but haven’t yet. I totally forgot about the live action dude it showed between levels until this article.
