Pepsi Wild Cherry apology in a post on X. Oh, Pepsi. When will it learn to stop trying to be edgy? Having already demonstrated how bad it can be when brands fail at being woke, the soft drink company's latest gaffe seemed like an attempt to pivot to the opposite extreme, and it didn't go well. Pepsi apologised and deleted a social media post that appeared to trivialise consent and sexual assault. But the case is so reminiscent of previous PR disasters that it should really never have happened.
