It's a quasi-effective anti-theft device. It's a Bud Light commercial. It's a Pepsi commercial. Oops. Read more for the forensics on this defensive drink device doppelgänger... Exhibit A: This month, a Bud Light commercial hit the airwaves via Downtown Partners DDB.

In it, Robert Stack (of Unsolved Mysteries fame) revealed their latest innovation - the Pepsi Club. Superadgrunts can view the spot here, and a later variant here. To further raise suspicions, both fictitious devices are/were fictitiously available in single and six-pack versions. Hmmm.... Was the idea drinkjacked, or is it all an amazing coincidence?
