Pepsi apologizes for sexist iPhone app

Sugar-water giant Pepsi, which sells a caffeine-laced concoction called AMP Energy, has apologized for releasing an iPhone app that provides suggested pick-up lines for "getting lucky" with 24 different types of women. It even has a "Brag List" function for automating the process of boasting about conquests on Twitter and Facebook.

well played, sugar water people.

meanwhile, at esarcasm we have a slightly different take on this. we don't think that app went far enough:
