In one of the numerous Back to the Future Day celebrations that happened throughout the world, Pepsi recreated the cafe from the 80s classic Back to the Future in a London theater. Lucky guests were able to first pose in front of the iconic DeLorean, and once inside were transported to the past and straight into a scene from the cult classic.
One of the main attractions at the event was a Pepsi vending machine that dispensed Pepsi Max in clear plastic bottles. Apart from the interactive branded experience, televisions were set up and that played memorable scenes from the film. To make the exhibit feel more authentically 80s, retro video games like Pac Man and Space Invader were also present. Lucky ticket holders finished their Back to the Future Day celebration with a screening of the movie.
