Pepsi, Where's My Jet?

Netflix documentaries strength is about telling a story about people. Whether he should or not should have a jet is an interesting topic, but that's not why it should be a 4 episode documentary. It needs that time for us to cozy down and immerse ourselves in the lives of the participants.

This a lovely ride to the 90s. A ride to make us remember when we were kids and looked at unattainable dreams in catalogues that offered prices to kids who seld magazines or collected bottlecaps.

I never got close to the big prizes, but my heart is with the kid who went for it.

You sell dreams you should deliver on them.

I didn't like the show because it dragged too much. The whole story could be told in 1h or so. The friendship and adventures are nice, but the mountain climbing had too much screen time.

The advertising by Pepsi was cool and clever back then. They had a nice promotion to trade points for items. The items in the catalog seems cool, I would like to get some of that merchandise in a promo like that these days, but I would probably just buy coca-cola lol

The documentary also shows some problems they had in the Philippines that were much worse than the jet issue. I wish they showed more about the Philippines and how that played out, instead of fillers.

I just read some reviews from other people and I don't understand why they think it was too long. It was only 4 episodes and the episodes are less than 40 minutes each. They go so fast!

I was hooked from the beginning. I knew nothing about this going in so I didn't know what the outcome would either. Some of the people in this documentary are funny, some are smart, some are stupid and some are creeps. It has it all.

Such an interesting story, I also liked the Philippines story and would like to hear more about that. So sad!

I know which I prefer (coke) and I know how I would have voted if I were on a jury deciding this case (there was no fine print - you can't say "it was a joke". It's like cheating on your wife then saying "it didn't mean anything". Give him the damn jet.) I laughed out loud in a few parts of this! Super enjoyable.

This is a pretty good series! I know I was hooked as soon as I saw the trailer for the series, but the series lived up to my expectations.

Covering the Scandal and Court Case from the 1990's, Leonard v. Pepsico, Inc. This docuseries brings in both sides with John Leonard and his team speaking and Pepsi employees giving their takes from the corporate perspective. Both sides having their chance to speak and give their arguments although I won't ignore that this series is biased towards Leonard and rightfully so.

While I wish there was more to the series, it was the right length and kept you enthralled throughout each episode. Sometimes I feel a lot of the docuseries nowadays are overdone, but this was a solid series in everyway.

Be like John. Keep dreaming and working to achieve your dreams!

When I first saw this documentary in my Netflix suggestions I was very entrigered by the title and I didn't knew this story so I took the risk and I immediatly started to see. After I finish it, I can tell this was a fantastic story very well narrated with some humour cleverly mixed. I love the way the story was told and the way keep pushing me to see more in the next episode.

I really enjoyed saw the perspective of a young kid vs one of the biggest companies in the world, and that inspired me a lot to never be afraid of battle for things we belive and want the most.

I think it's a story that everyone must see.
