ViceCityMobster86 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 As much as I like classic Mario games, I am going with Willy The Hillbilly here, he is my dude and was created to market a drink, a Pepsico drink none the less. Pepsi was honestly ahead of the time with Pepsi AM, considering the later rise of energy drinks.

This does feel more in-line with Willy, I have to agree. He's already a drink mascot, and drinking a breakfast cola is something I could see marketed as a Hillbilly thing. I don't think it would catch on with either of them, but then it didn't catch on in real life, either. Willy has the better brand synergy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twogunkid Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Plus, Willy is already marketing a caffine overloaded product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSkillz Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Well, there was a Mario soda on the market at some point. The cans also still sell well as novelty items. Mario is also still a major marketing force. Willy, however, hasn't been relevant since the '60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
